Carlos Alcaraz, world number two in the ATP rankings, is trying to defend his US Open title and made a change to his equipment. The young Spanish tennis player added an undershirt to his outfit, something he had not done previously in the tournament.
Alcaraz explained the reason for this change in a humorous way, saying that he has been seeing his nipples too much. The statement generated media attention, with the Spanish press highlighting the humorous comment from the defending champion.
The 21-year-old tennis player is looking to repeat last year's success at Flushing Meadows, where he won his second Grand Slam title. This season, however, he has faced greater competition on the tour, making the title defense more challenging.
The change in Alcaraz's equipment shows the level of detail that professional tennis players consider during tournaments, even in seemingly small aspects such as the choice of inner clothing pieces.
