Carlos Alcaraz enjoys surprising both fans and onlookers with changes in his appearance, and the one he made at the ATP Masters 1000 Shanghai 2026 was unexpected. The Murcian surprised everyone when he stepped onto the court for the warm-up prior to his debut in the Chinese event against Juan Manuel Cerúndolo, sporting a bushy mustache.

The funniest part is that it seems to have been an agreement with his entire team, as its members also appear with mustaches. From his brother Álvaro to his coach Samuel López, and including his agent Albert Molina, they have all joined Carlos in this fun and quirky bet, which generated great excitement among the fans present in Shanghai.

The overall image will be made when he steps onto the court for his debut, but we can already file away this image of Carlos Alcaraz with a mustache alongside the many looks the Spaniard has had. From his buzz cut to that platinum blonde, passing through braids and now his long hair, the mustache adds to the list, and it remains to be seen if it is here to stay or just a temporary addition that will disappear in a few days. 

There is great anticipation to see if Alcaraz maintains his high level of play and winning trend, making the objective of finishing the Asian tour undefeated very exciting for him. The Shanghai tournament is one of the most important events on the calendar that is still not in his record, so the Murcian will fight diligently to win the title and extend the good vibes acquired in Tokyo last week.
