A new year, a new life, or a new haircut! The 2025 season began with a defeat for Carlos Alcaraz, who opened his year with a charity match against Alex De Minaur, played on the centre court at Melbourne Park and won by the Australian with a score of 7-5 4-6 10-5.

In addition to the curiosity of the many fans who attended the exhibition match, to find out the level of the two tennis players ahead of the Australian Open, the 21-year-old Spaniard surprised everyone with a new haircut.
The Spanish tennis player showed up in Australia with a new hairstyle: a shorter cut than usual, about which the former ATP number 1 himself joked, explaining the reasons for his choice. Alcaraz, pressed by the interviewer's question, who showed a photo of Carlitos with the barber on the Rod Laver Arena's big screen, commented:
"I talked to my hairdresser about the cut, I knew that in three days my hair would grow, so I have to go more often to avoid that happening to me! In the new year, I knew I would come to Australia, with 40 degrees, here it's summer... I needed something new. I already had this haircut a few years ago and I liked it, so this year... we will probably see a new style from Carlitos, I will try new things this year."

A change therefore for the four-time Slam champion, who in Melbourne will go hunting for the first Australian title of his career. A tournament that, in his short but already successful career, does not smile on the tennis player from Murcia, who has never gone beyond the quarterfinals.
