Emma Raducanu Endorses Carlos Alcaraz’s Bold Buzz Cut at US Open

UPDATE: British tennis star Emma Raducanu has officially endorsed Carlos Alcaraz‘s dramatic new buzz cut during a press conference at the U.S. Open on September 6, 2023. The Spaniard’s bold hairstyle has sparked conversations and mixed opinions among fans and players alike following his first-round match.

Alcaraz’s close-cropped look became a hot topic at Flushing Meadows earlier this week after he decisively defeated Reilly Opelka in his opener. The second seed’s haircut was widely discussed, with reactions pouring in from both fellow tennis players and online audiences. Raducanu, who recently partnered with Alcaraz in the tournament’s revamped mixed doubles competition, shared her thoughts on his new style, which has fueled romance rumors between the two.

“I think he pulls it off. If you own a haircut like that, then it can work,” Raducanu stated after her own impressive victory over Janice Tjen, where she won with a score of 6-2, 6-1. She emphasized that Alcaraz’s hairstyle will not impact his performance on the court, expressing her happiness to see him enjoying himself.

Alcaraz revealed that his buzz cut was unintended, the result of a mishap with the clippers by his brother while trying to give him a pre-tournament trim.

As the U.S. Open progresses, the spotlight on Alcaraz’s style choices continues to grow, highlighting the blend of personal expression and competitive spirit in the world of tennis. Fans are eager to see how this fashionable twist will play out on the court as both players aim for victory in their respective matches.

Expect more updates as the U.S. Open unfolds, and stay tuned for how this bold hairstyle might influence not just Alcaraz’s game, but also the atmosphere at this prestigious event.
