Carlos Alcaraz‘s new look is a total ace.
The 22-year-old debuted a dramatic hair transformation ahead of his first match at the 2025 U.S. Open Aug. 25, and the new ‘do makes him look nearly unrecognizable.
In a video shared to X Aug. 25, Carlos—wearing a cutoff white Nike tank bearing the number “90” and coordinating black shorts—stepped onto the court at New York City’s USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center sporting a completely shaved head. And while the athlete may have ditched his longer black style for the fresh buzzed look, his deep-colored roots were still slightly visible.
Following the unveiling of his epic transformation, fans admitted to having to do a double take. As one user wrote on X Aug. 25, “Lmao took me a second to realize.”
“Bro just gained 10x more aura,” another commented, while a third user added, “Legit didn’t even recognize him.”
