Carlos Alcaraz is a fearless force on court and is dauntless in maintaining his mane.
Fans will recall Alcaraz sporting the bleached blonde buzz cut last fall.
Sporting a shaggier hairstyle these days, Alcaraz turned to Laver Cup teammate Alexander Zverev, who served as stylist shaping the Spaniard’s pony tail.
Watch Zverev, who succeeded Alcaraz as US Open champion, work his hair magic here:
In addition to his 2025 buzz cut, Alcaraz had his hair braided during his August training block in preparation for his US Open return.
Of course, Zverev wasn’t the first Grand Slam champion to sport Samurai-style longer longs.
In fact, former world No. 1 and Team World Vice Captain Patrick Rafter wore the Samurai style looking during his peak playing days.
