Alexander Zverev added humor to the Australian Open atmosphere by playfully calling Carlos Alcaraz and Lorenzo Musetti “idiots” over their recent haircuts.

“I think they’re idiots. Grow it out as long as you can. We’re all going to be bald at some point, so, as long as you are not, just take full advantage of it,” Zverev joked, drawing laughter during the press interaction.

The German star’s comment highlighted his jovial side, offering a lighthearted moment amidst the tournament’s intensity. Known for his witty remarks, Zverev’s playful jab was well-received and underscored the camaraderie among players on tour.

Both Alcaraz and Musetti, sporting fresh trims, seemed to take Zverev’s quip in stride, as fans and fellow players enjoyed the banter. Moments like these showcase the lighter side of professional tennis, adding a touch of humor to the high-stakes competition.
