Tennis world No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz is having a whirlwind month in America, but it ended earlier than expected with a 6-3, 5-7, 6-4 loss at the Miami Open to Sebastian Korda. But it wasn’t the loss that had gay fans talking. 

Alcaraz started the month by debuting two new looks at the Indian Wells tournament near Palm Springs: First, a modern, mullet-inspired haircut with tapered sides and extra length in the back.

Just a few days later, he showed off his famous legs and rear in a new tight, fluorescent orange kit during his first match at the tournament. The two-toned Nike kit showed off all his assets, with fans taking notice.

While his new hair got mixed reviews, the orange kit was unanimously a winner, especially when the blustery Palm Springs conditions got a hold of it. 

After starting the year 16-0, Alcaraz suffered his first loss of the season in the Indian Wells semifinals to Daniil Medvedev. The loss didn’t keep him down long, as Alcaraz headed to Miami with his infectious smile and new look in tow. 

Despite the shock loss to Korda in his second match in Miami, the Spaniard is still an impressive 17-2 for the year and leads the world No. 2 Jannik Sinner by more than 1,000 points in the rankings. He also became the youngest player to complete the Career Grand Slam (winning all four of the sport’s majors) earlier this year with his Australian Open title.

If he follows his typical schedule after the Indian Wells/Miami Open double, we can expect a shirtless Alcaraz partying with friends on a yacht during a much-deserved vacation. Then he gets back to business for the clay court season, which culminates at Roland Garros at the end of May. Alcaraz and his ever-popular lower-half won the Roland Garros title last year, beating Sinner in a five-hour classic. 

We’ll wait to see what hair style and tennis kit he brings to the red clay in just a few weeks.
