The US Open posted a video of a short clip of Tiafoe seeing Alcaraz’s new cut with a less-than-approving look. Alcaraz was sporting a new buzzcut when the American tennis star saw him. “Yeah, it’s horrible. It’s terrible,” Tiafoe said when asked about the clip during his post-match press conference.

American tennis star Frances Tiafoe couldn't hold back his jokes about World No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz's 'horendous' haircut he debuted at the US Open this week.

Carlos Alcaraz was almost unrecognizable when he stepped on the court against Reilly Opelka for his first-round match the US Open. His usual bushy, mop haircut was replaced by an unexpected buzz cut as a result of a pre-game mishap involving his brother.
