On Monday, August 25, the Spanish tennis ace smashed his first-round match against American Reilly Opelka in straight sets – 6-4, 7-5, 6-4 at Arthur Ashe Stadium. But it wasn’t just his fierce gameplay grabbing eyeballs; his all-purple outfit stole the show! The flashy purple Oakberry kit quickly became a hot topic among fans and players alike. Even Georgios Frangulis, the boyfriend of women’s world number 1 Aryna Sabalenka, couldn’t hold back his excitement. He took to social media to write, “Wow, im def gonna buy this purple oakberry kit bro,” sparking smiles and laughs across the internet. The fun banter between the Brazilian entrepreneur and the Spanish star gave fans a light-hearted moment amid the intense competition. Alcaraz is chasing his sixth Grand Slam title and already has the French Open trophy from earlier this year. Now, eyes are on his next challenge against Italy’s Mattia Bellucci on Wednesday, August 27. Could this purple powerhouse add the US Open crown to his trophy cabinet? But wait, there’s more! Fans are also buzzing about Carlos’s new buzzcut, which he proudly revealed was done by none other than his brother, Alvaro. Speaking with tennis reporter Ben Rothenberg at the US Open, Alcaraz shared, “Yeah. It’s just okay, I’m not really into the hair at all. So I’m the guy who thinks, OK, the hair grows, and in a few days it’s going to be already OK, I guess. So it just happened, and that’s it,” as quoted by journalist Jose Morgado on X. The haircut inspired playful reactions too! Frances Tiafoe jokingly called it “horrible,” while tennis legend Jim Courier cheekily suggested Novak Djokovic should copy the style and race Alcaraz after the tournament. With his purple outfit sparkling under New York lights and a fresh haircut on point, Carlos Alcaraz looks ready to storm through the US Open. This young star isn’t just chasing trophies—he’s winning hearts too!
