Aryna Sabalenka and Carlos Alcaraz have maintained a very good relationship for some time, showing great rapport whenever they meet. The Belarusian was training this Saturday on the adjacent court of the US Open 2026, where the Murcian entered, and as soon as there was eye contact between them, jokes began to fly. 

It was the Belarusian who led the conversation, provoking laughter from all the fans around them by saying that she was envious of Carlos' hair, which she did not have as much of. Following that, the Murcian continued the playful banter by asserting that he needs his time to groom himself properly and style his hair now that he has changed his look. 

This was the fun dialogue between Sabalenka and Alcaraz about the Spaniard's hair

Both tennis players are well aware of all the chatter on social media about Carlos' new hairstyle, which has captivated a wide majority, as well as about how well the Spaniard sports his hair. The dialogue continued with laughter, and both demonstrated once again their enormous charisma and the relaxed relationship they maintain, showing everyone how both circuits coexist with the stars, respecting and admiring each other.

Last year, Sabalenka and Alcaraz shared programs and post-US Open interviews after both emerged as champions. Neither of them seemed to arrive at Flushing Meadows this year at their best moment, but as the matches progress, the chances of them defending their titles increase, and we may see them reigning in the Big Apple again. For now, we have to settle for these dialectical exchanges before the battles they will face in the round of 16, against Townsend and Paul, respectively.
