Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz is not only making headlines on the tennis court but also with his latest fresh look. After his momentous victory at Wimbledon, where he became the third youngest player in the Open Era to win the prestigious tournament, Alcaraz decided it was time for a new hairstyle.
During his Wimbledon triumph, Alcaraz sported a standard haircut. However, the world No 1 has chosen to switch things up by opting for a side fade with the top of his hair trimmed. Accompanied by his trusted hairdresser, VÃctor, in Murcia, Alcaraz underwent the transformation to his hair.
The response from fans has been overwhelmingly positive, evident from the flood of likes he received on Instagram. Alcaraz’s victory at SW19 catapulted him into the spotlight, as he clinched his second Grand Slam title. Many tennis enthusiasts believe that the 20-year-old has a bright future ahead and could dominate the sport in the coming years.
Tennis legend Jimmy Connors even went as far as predicting that Alcaraz could potentially win 15 Grand Slam titles. Connors expressed his confidence, stating, If Carlos Alcaraz plays until he is 33. So, he has got 13 years. Let’s just say he plays for 12 more years, that is 48 more slams. And if he doesn’t get too full of himself, I would say 15.
Following his triumph at Wimbledon, Alcaraz participated in a couple of matches at the Hopman Cup before taking a well-deserved break. With his batteries recharged, Alcaraz is ready to make his return to the court. His next challenge awaits at the Canadian Open, beginning on August 7. Alcaraz will be defending 10 points in the tournament, as he lost in the second round of the ATP Masters 1000 event last year.
After the Canadian Open, Alcaraz will move on to the Cincinnati Open, aiming to replicate his impressive quarter-final performance from last year. The battle for the world No 1 ranking will resume as he goes head-to-head with Novak Djokovic, who has chosen to skip the Canadian Open. Alcaraz will then head to New York to defend his title at the US Open, where he will have 2,000 points at stake.
In preparation for the upcoming North American hard-court swing, Alcaraz began his training at El Palmar in Murcia and Villena in Alicante. However, he has now joined his team at the JC Ferrero Equelite Sport Academy to intensify his training.
On Friday, Alcaraz and his team will depart for North America, ready to face the challenges that lie ahead. As he continues to make waves in the world of tennis, Alcaraz’s fresh look serves as a symbolic representation of his determination to evolve and excel in all aspects of his career. Fans eagerly await his return to action, hopeful to witness more remarkable performances from this rising star.
