"I felt like my hair was really long already. Before the tournament, I just really wanted to get a haircut. Suddenly, my brother misunderstood with the machine. He just cut it, and the only way to fix it was to shave it off. ... To be honest, it's not that bad, I guess," Alcaraz said."
"I'm not really into the hair at all. I'm the guy who thinks like, 'the hair grows.' In a few days, it's going to be OK I guess. It just happened, and that's it."

Carlos Alcaraz appeared at the US Open with a shaved head after a mishandled haircut by his brother. The No. 2 seed beat Reilly Opelka 6-4, 7-5, 6-4 in the first round at Flushing Meadows. A misunderstanding with the clipper led to too much hair being cut, and shaving was the only fix. His usual barber, Victor, did not travel to New York, so the brother handled the cut. Alcaraz expressed indifference about the appearance, noted hair grows back, and has been roasted online but remained unconcerned. He holds five majors and seeks a second US Open title.
