New York – Within hours Carlos Alakraj The US Open reached the site on August 25, and before he took the court for his first round match, he became the biggest story of the day.

Not due to his rivalry with World No. 1 Pronounced sinnerOr because he was a favorite for winning the title again. everyone was Talking about your new haircut,

“I mean, it is definitely terrible,” Francis tiafoThe two -time US Open semi -finalist said that after his match with laughter before adding a cavet. “He is my boy.”

In the next 48 hours, it felt like every player on the tour – Naomi Osaka To Alexander zweev To Emma Redukanu To make himself a sinner – was asked about, and Alakraj had an opinion on his hair. Each comment made the internet round, and Alakraj responded to his signature with good nature, Convict your younger brother for a look,

Now, after more than a week, Alakraj’s hair has already started coming back, and has since booked his ticket in the semi-finals, which is after winning at number 20 seeds at number 20 seeds on number 6-4, 6-2, 6-4. Jiri Leheka On Tuesday. And while the questions about his cut seem to be faded, this incident gives an attractive reminiscent of how dear he is. While some players are always more popular or acceptable than others in the locker room, very few players of Alkaraz’s caliber, at this stage in their careers, usually hold that distinction.

This answers the question: How can the five-time prominent champion and current world number 2, Alkaraz, how can the tennis court be so frightened for his blistering athleticism, tireless patience and powerful forehand-but can be liked so well by its opponents?

“It is very difficult to pull that balance,” Sam QuareFormer Wimbledon semi-finalist-inflammatory and podcaster told ESPN this week. “Many superstars can’t close it. When that player walks around the lounge, you can make fun of him, and he is very good with everyone. (Roger) Federer and (Rafael) Nadal had a little bit, but Carlos seems to have so (quality).

“He is a superstar worldwide, but there are some parts that are just everyday man, and people insist on him.”

Tennis, at its core, Is a deep personal game.

In court, the players are alone. While their coaches and support teams are seated nearby, and they can sometimes give guidance, it eventually comes down to the player and finds a way to win on their own.

Away from competition, players are on the road for most of the year, traveling from hotel room to hotel room and tournament. This can be an isolated experience, and players often spend most of their time with their teams. In the years, many top players have said that they find it very difficult to stay close with their peers.

Five -time prominent champion “It’s hard to be really good friends on tour Maria Sharapova Said in 2011“I find it difficult to dinner with someone a night and then they have to play after two days, as it is a personal game at the end of the day and we are all very competitive … you know that we are not in a team and as far as close friends go, my family comes with me on the street. I don’t roam in the locker room – I am not my favorite place in the world.”

While things have changed in recent years – US Open Breakout Star Taylor Townsand Credible for epidemic to transfer locker room dynamics In an interview with ESPN in 2024 – And Quare insisted that the men’s locker room has always been a friendly place, Alkaraz feels that he is probably not other superstars around his peers.

At the beginning of the tournament, A picture of Alakraj and sinner was circulated An Italian restaurant in Midtown Manhattan together at Ostria Delbianco. While Alkraj later explained that it was just a coincidence that both of them were there, it was notable that it was reliable that they were together there. The same possibility will not be a matter for Sharapova and say, Serena WilliamsOr Federer and Nadal in the early years of his rivalry.

Prior to retiring in 2022, 37 -year -old Quaree spent a lot of his career around Nadal, Federer and K 3. Novak jokovichAccording to him, Federer was “if it could not be good”, then it was also good, and even “fine with it” if it is mocked, but overall everyone was not naturally cham. Nadal was also attached to his peers, but the language obstruction could make it challenging. As Alakraj has made a deliberate attempt to improve his flow in English, it has allowed them to interact more originally with a large group of players and people around the tour.

“Carlos speaks better English than Rafa,” Quare said. “So, I think he is satire, humor, such things that were difficult with a way.
