Everything is coming up roses for Carlos Alcaraz these days. The 2025 US Open champion played one of his best career matches against his rival Jannik Sinner, and his life has been a whirlwind ever since.

The buzz cut that created a lot of attention and questions has been dyed blonde.
That’s right, Alcaraz is in his blonde era just as Taylor Fritz previously was.
There is no word on how long Alcaraz plans to stay blonde. It could create an interesting look when his black roots begin to grow out.
Alcaraz’s Girlfriend
Carlos Alcaraz keeps his private life close to the cuff so no one from his team has confirmed that he has a girlfriend.
He was reportedly spotted partying in New York after the win with Sports Illustrated model Brooks Nader.

While we do not have a lot of information on Alcaraz’s hair or girlfriend, we do know that he has assumed the World No. 1 ranking.
What is most impressive is how Alcaraz got the ranking, by being unflappable and unbeatable, through the entire US Open. He was laser focused which is not always his personality. He played smart and percentage tennis without going for outlandish shots. Alcaraz was not overly exuberant through his rounds, conserving his energy, and nothing was stopping him from getting the win and the World No. 1 ranking.
