Alcaraz and Sabalenka Share Lighthearted Hair Banter on US Open Practice Courts

On the practice courts at Flushing Meadows, top ATP and WTA players Carlos Alcaraz and Aryna Sabalenka created a warm, close moment during main draw preparations. This was not a tactical conversation or technical analysis, but light-hearted jokes about hair. Alcaraz, the defending US Open champion, had returned after nearly five months out with a wrist injury. He had changed his hairstyle to fuller hair, unlike the buzz cut his brother cut during recovery. Sabalenka joined in the laughter. A video of this moment was shared on the US Open official website, attracting global tennis community attention.
