Carlos Alcaraz will wear sleeveless clothing again when he returns to New York to play at the 2024 US Open following the release of his newest outfit.
Alcaraz is preparing to play in singles and doubles at the Paris Olympics later this month. He recently became the sixth man to win the French Open and Wimbledon in back-to-back tournaments in the same season.
The Spaniard defeated Alexander Zverev to win his maiden Roland Garros last month and successfully retained his title at the All England Club over a week ago with a straight sets demolition of Novak Djokovic in a repeat final.
He is the heavy favorite to win the gold medal at the Olympic Games, with the tennis tournament kicking off on Saturday, July 27th. The event will be held on the clay of Roland Garros, a surface that has already marked a symbolic moment in his young career, as he celebrated by getting tattooed.
After the Olympics, Alcaraz is scheduled to play in three tournaments in North America, beginning with the Canadian Open in Montreal. Thereafter, he will compete in Cincinnati, looking to atone for last year's heartbreaking defeat to Djokovic in the longest best-of-three final in ATP history.
The two Masters 1000s will serve as warm-up tournaments because he will then gear up for the US Open, seeking his third Grand Slam of 2024 and the fifth of his career. He will walk into Flushing Meadows wearing a brand-new sleeveless kit that has hit social media.
Alcaraz's 2024 US Open Outfit Revealed
Carlos Alcaraz will be competing in his fourth straight US Open main draw. His best result is in winning the 2022 title, his first major, at the age of 19. He would become the youngest World No. 1 in the ATP rankings a day later.
This year, Alcaraz will wear a sleeveless outfit at the US Open, akin to what he wore last year when he reached the semifinals and lost to Daniil Medvedev. It is also modeled in the same design as his top at the 2024 Australian Open.
His new outfit is a sleeveless athletic top with a coral front. The collar and armholes are sewn in pink, and the Nike black logo appears on the chest.
The back of the shirt retains the same coral color except for the lower part of the back, which transitions to pink. Alcaraz will wear white shorts, although the full details are unavailable for now.
Alcaraz's apparel sponsor, Nike, has been criticized for the drab outfit they provided the Spaniard during his title-winning fortnight at Roland Garros. Several fans mistook his dark blue colored T-shirt and yellow shorts for a practice outfit when he entered the court for his first match in Paris.
The World No. 3 does not have a customized line of gear like his countryman Rafael Nadal, but he has reportedly penned a multi-million dollar deal this month that will help him develop his own brand and logo.
It's clear that he is one of the most valuable endorsers of the company with his status as a multiple Gand Slam champion, and Nike has now tied him to a long-term contract to ward off interested parties.
