The US Open has always been a platform for tennis players to showcase not only their skills on the court but also their unique personal style. This year, all eyes are on Carlos Alcaraz and his customized Nike outfit, which has sparked discussions across the tennis community. Even former player James Blake couldn’t resist responding with his humorous take on the eye-catching attire.
Many tennis fans have been in awe of Alcaraz’s outfit and gave their thoughts regarding this unconventional style. Rafael Nadal is known for wearing sleeveless outfits during Grand Slams and many believe this is a tribute to him by Nike and Carlos Alcaraz.
Carlos Alcaraz’s distinctive US Open attire
Carlos Alcaraz’s custom Nike outfit for the US Open has been turning heads for all the right reasons – its distinct and unconventional design. The outfit, which features a black and white color scheme with asymmetrical designs, is a change from the more standard tennis attire we’re used to seeing. While the design may be unconventional, it’s clear that Alcaraz and Nike aimed for a statement-making look that reflects his youthful energy and unique style.
However, not everyone was amused by Alcaraz’s outfit, James Blake had a funny take on the Spaniard’s outfit choice and said ‘it could be on your fridge from your small child’. The former player thinks that Alcaraz’s outfit is randomly scribbled with colors and looks like a work of a smile child.
“It definitely looks like something that could be either on the wall of a museum or it could be on the fridge from your small child.”
