US Open Champion Carlos Alcaraz Reveals Platinum Blonde Hair After Victory

After winning his second US Open title in 2025 and reclaiming the World No. 1 ranking, Carlos Alcaraz surprised fans with a dramatic hair transformation from a buzzcut to a platinum blonde look. The buzzcut, initially a mistake by his brother Alvaro who mishandled the clippers, was quickly embraced by Alcaraz despite mixed reactions, including criticism from Frances Tiafoe. Following his victory over Jannik Sinner, Alcaraz fulfilled a promise to change his hairstyle, with his longtime barber Victor Martinez dyeing his hair platinum blonde, a look that has garnered significant attention and praise on social media. Alcaraz's confident attitude towards his hair, supported by fellow players like Emma Raducanu who emphasized focusing on his athletic achievements rather than his appearance, highlights his bold personality on and off the court. His US Open performance was dominant, dropping only one set en route to his sixth Grand Slam, matching feats by tennis greats at a young age. The transformation has kept Alcaraz in the spotlight as he prepares to represent Team Europe at the upcoming Laver Cup.
