Carlos Alcaraz, the young tennis sensation, recently faced a wave of criticism from fans following a drastic new haircut ahead of Wimbledon. The moment his barber revealed the 21-year-old’s new look on social media, fans were taken aback by the dramatic change. One fan humorously lamented, “Carlitos baby wyd (what you doing), Pls come look at this 😭”.
Before the clay season kickoff at the Monte-Carlo Masters in April 2024, Alcaraz proudly displayed his fresh haircut with a grin in a social media post captioned: “Ready to Monte-Carlo @carlitosalcarazz.” Despite the upbeat post, the response from fans was mixed, with many suggesting he find a new barber. One fan humorously tweeted, “I need him to take the next step and get hooked up with the right barber 😂.”
The reactions continued ahead of the 2024 French Open when Alcaraz, former World No. 3, returned to his barber for another cut, featuring buzzed sides. Social media was abuzz with comments, some likening the regular pre-tournament haircuts to life’s certainties. One fan even pleaded, “Somebody bring this boy uptown I beg 😩,” referencing the variety of barber shops in Upper Manhattan that cater to diverse styles.

A particularly incredulous fan refused to believe the timing of the haircut, noting its similarity to last year’s Wimbledon style. They wrote, “This vid is not from today I can’t believe I know this.” Despite the initial backlash, some fans eventually supported Alcaraz’s new look, showing the divided opinions within his fanbase.
As Carlos Alcaraz prepares for Wimbledon, his new haircut may not have pleased all his fans, but the young star remains focused on his game, ready to tackle the grass courts with his signature vigor.
