Though it’s unusual to switch up appearances mid-tournament, especially at a high-pressure event like the French Open, Alcaraz explained that he felt the timing was right and joked that his growing hair and beard left him no choice.

“He’s free, so I’m lucky he could come here to Paris and watch some of my matches,” Alcaraz said after his 6-1, 4-6, 6-1, 6-2 win over Marozsan. “I just told him he has to bring the materials to cut my hair the way I need it.”

“Probably people aren’t used to seeing me getting a haircut between matches,” he said with a grin. “That’s why they were a bit surprised. But I think it’s something normal.”
