Nick Kyrgios recently expressed admiration for Carlos Alcaraz’s choice of attire at the US Open, particularly his decision to wear a sleeveless outfit on the court. Kyrgios humorously complimented Alcaraz, saying, “Your arms are looking sensational!” He also inquired whether Alcaraz had designed the outfit himself, given its striking appearance.
Alcaraz, the 2022 US Open champion, responded with a smile, explaining his preference for the sleeveless look. “I love playing with singlets as well,” Alcaraz stated. He added that in certain tournaments, he opts for this style to potentially intimidate his opponents. “In some tournaments – specific tournaments, I want to play with singlet probably just to make fear to the opponents, or I try,” Alcaraz said with a laugh.
Addressing the specific conditions in New York, Alcaraz noted the practicality of his outfit choice. “But here in New York it’s so hot; so humid, you try not to sweat a lot,” he remarked, acknowledging the challenging weather conditions. He concluded by expressing his satisfaction with the outfit, stating, “I’m glad you like it. Yeah, I obviously like playing with that.”
The lighthearted exchange between Kyrgios and Alcaraz highlights the Spaniard’s confidence and sense of humor as he continues his campaign at the US Open.
