Alcaraz gets fresh new haircut during time off court as preparation begins for US Open title defence

Spain’s young tennis star Carlos Alcaraz has had a fresh haircut as he begins his preparations for the US Open titles defence.

The 20-year-old is now the talk of the town after winning his maiden Wimbledon title in London last month after beating Serbia’s Novak Djokovic in a five-set thrilling final with a score of 1–6, 7–6(8–6), 6–1, 3–6, 6–4.

That victory was indeed a special one as before this year, Alcaraz’s best performance in the competition was playing in the fourth round.

On the other hand, his triumph also halted Serbia’s Novak Djokovic’s march towards equaling the former world number one Switzerland’s Roger Federer’s record of eight Wimbledon titles.

After that victory, Alcaraz has now taken some time off from the circuit and in a picture on a social media platform appeared with a fresh haircut.
