Carlos Alcaraz utilized an undershirt during his third-round US Open match against Wu Yibing on Friday to prevent a repeat of wardrobe malfunctions experienced in previous rounds. The Spaniard wore a basketball-style tank top that had shifted during play, prompting his decision to add a layer for his straight-sets win, 6-3, 6-4, 6-1. Alcaraz confirmed the change was his own choice rather than a mandate from Nike and indicated he may continue the practice in future matches. Following the victory at Arthur Ashe Stadium, he performed a bow-and-arrow celebration, which he explained was a request from his younger brothers, Sergio and Jaime. Alcaraz is scheduled to face Tommy Paul in the fourth round after Paul secured a five-set victory against Alexander Bublik.
