Carlos Alcaraz adds undershirt after US Open outfit drew jokes

Carlos Alcaraz advanced to the fourth round of the U.S. Open with a 6-3, 6-4, 6-1 victory over Wu Yibing, but his loose-fitting brown Nike tank top became an unexpected tournament storyline after repeatedly exposing his chest. The outfit, part of a Travis Scott–Cactus Jack collaboration, prompted online jokes, including former player Eugenie Bouchard’s suggestion that he “put the nip away.” Alcaraz responded by wearing a white undershirt beneath the tank top, explaining that he had been seeing “too much” of his nipples and preferred the added layer. He said the change was his decision and that he planned to continue wearing it. The wardrobe episode has provided a lighter subplot to Alcaraz’s comeback from a wrist injury; he has lost only one set through three matches and next faces American 20th seed Tommy Paul.
