Carlos Alcaraz is back on the court just days after clinching his second US Open title, and he’s doing it with a striking new appearance. The 22-year-old Spaniard, now sporting platinum blonde hair, has resumed training in Spain as he prepares for upcoming tournaments. His transformation has sparked conversation across the tennis world, adding flair to an already dominant season.

Platinum hair marks a playful celebration

Alcaraz’s decision to bleach his hair came after a whirlwind victory in New York, where he defeated Jannik Sinner in four sets to reclaim the World No. 1 ranking. The bold hairstyle was revealed in photos with his longtime barber, following a humorous mishap involving his brother Alvaro, who had previously botched a buzzcut attempt. The platinum look is not just a celebration—it’s a symbol of confidence and individuality as Alcaraz continues to redefine the image of a modern tennis star.
