Carlos Alcaraz Debuts Moustache Look at Shanghai Masters After Tokyo Triumph
Carlos Alcaraz has grabbed attention at the Shanghai Masters with a fresh makeover, as the Spanish tennis star unveiled a new moustache during a warm-up session ahead of his tournament debut.
The 23-year-old’s latest style experiment comes on the back of a successful campaign in Tokyo, where he won the Japan Open title. Alcaraz defeated Czech Republic’s Jiri Lehecka 7-6(4), 6-4 in the final on October 6, successfully defending his crown and securing his third tour-level title of the 2026 season.
While his performances on court continue to make headlines, Alcaraz’s changing appearance has also become a talking point among tennis fans. His new moustache marks the latest addition to a series of transformations the Spaniard has embraced over the past year.
From Buzz Cut to Longer Hair: Alcaraz’s Changing Looks
Alcaraz has frequently experimented with his hairstyle, offering fans a different look at various tournaments.
At the 2025 French Open, he sported a short, closely cropped haircut after his barber, Victor Martinez, travelled to Paris to give him a fresh trim.
The Spaniard made an even more dramatic change later that year at the US Open, arriving with a buzz cut. The transformation followed a haircut mishap involving his brother and a pair of clippers, which ultimately led Alcaraz to shave his head. His new appearance generated considerable discussion among fans and fellow players, including Frances Tiafoe.
By 2026, Alcaraz had allowed his hair to grow longer and experimented with braided styles. Ahead of the Tokyo tournament, he indicated that he was considering another haircut, explaining that he wanted to try something different and find a look that suited him.
His latest moustache experiment has now added another dimension to his evolving style. Reports from Shanghai suggest that members of his coaching and support staff have also joined in on the moustache trend.
Tokyo Champion Targets First Shanghai Masters Title
Beyond his appearance, Alcaraz has a significant challenge ahead as he looks to make an impact at the Shanghai Masters.
The Spaniard is aiming to win the prestigious tournament for the first time. He reached the quarter-finals in 2024 but failed to progress further, while he did not participate in the 2025 edition.
Arriving in China after his title-winning run in Tokyo, Alcaraz will look to maintain his momentum as the 2026 tennis season approaches its conclusion.
With confidence boosted by his recent success and a new look attracting attention off the court, the Spanish star will be hoping to make headlines for his performances in Shanghai as well.
