Carlos Alcaraz: The undershirt, the wrist injury and a calculated return at the 2026 US Open
Carlos Alcaraz added a white undershirt at the 2024 US Open after saying his chest had been 'too exposed'. He is returning from a four-month wrist injury and has lost one set through three matches. Alcaraz next faces Tommy Paul, against whom he has a 5-0 head-to-head record. The undershirt reflects a focus on comfort and injury management. | Source: Reuters/US Open interviews, September 2024 | Cross-checked: VuaBong.vn | Related Q&A: Q: Does Alcaraz's 5-0 record guarantee a win over Paul? A: No, the five wins all predate Alcaraz's wrist injury. Q: Should fans worry about the wrist? A: The one-set loss through three matches is a positive early sign, but expert analysis still flags reinjury risk after a four-month layoff.
Carlos Alcaraz said he revealed 'too much nipple' during his first two matches at the 2026 US Open, so he added an undershirt. The story turned into memes, but behind the wardrobe decision is a more significant tale: his return from a four-month wrist injury. The 23-year-old seven-time Grand Slam champion lost only one set in his first three matches. Next he faces Tommy Paul, against whom he owns a 5-0 head-to-head record. The undershirt shows Alcaraz prioritizing comfort and mental focus, not just fashion. The real challenge is managing his wrist through tougher opponents and the long five-set grind. This is a deliberate strategy to avoid reinjury and control the narrative.
