Wimbledon 2024: Carlos Alcaraz’s Opponent Hilariously Ripped to Shreds Over Dreadful ‘Pineapple’ Hairstyle

Every tennis fan and player has their eyes set on the Grass court of Wimbledon, as the main draw is in full swing. However, it seems that during the break something else caught the eye of tennis fans as they are unable to get over it: Hairs! At the beginning of the Grass Swing, it was Carlos Alcaraz’s new ‘fade’ hairstyle that sent everyone into a frenzy, though not in a good way. But now, in the middle of some high action, it’s Alcaraz’s first-round opponent’s hairstyle that has sucked the breath out. And again, not in a good way, maybe worse if that’s possible, as not everyone likes pineapple!

Carlos Alcaraz is all set to play Mark Lajal to begin his campaign as the defending champion on the Grass court. While it is obvious that fans would be on the lookout for great matches and shots, they are also on the lookout for hairstyles. And Alcaraz’s opponent is facing fire for his ‘dread-full’ hairstyle. The Estonian is set to face not only Alcaraz but also the crowd who is favoring the Spaniard.

Lajal’s dreadlocks were not appreciated by fans, and as a result, they became a choir and sang the chorus beating the Estonian quickly on the grass court. And the match is underway in favor of Spainard. Alcaraz has already taken the first set, though not without a challenge. Alcaraz had to snatch it out of the claws of deuce. This is certainly memorable for their first meeting in the tennis circuit, as the World No.3 faces World No. 269 with a unique hair style! A tennis fan excited about Wimbledon had predicted about the ‘chatter’ regarding Lajal’s hair, and it couldn’t be more right. They said:

Tennis fans are peculiar about hair, and they don’t leave a chance to give their reviews about the same. Be it the top-ranked and their favorites or the qualifiers. And Lajal is in the middle of it all, hoping to shut the chatter as he focuses on keeping up with Alcaraz’s form.

Tennis fans out for Carlos Alcaraz’s win due to to ‘pineapple’ hairstyle of his opponent

A few weeks back, when Carlos Alcaraz’s hairstyle didn’t please tennis fans, they were out on the streets searching for a new hairstylist to get his look right. However, Alcaraz’s opponent doesn’t have the same sympathy from tennis fans, as they now want him off the court as soon as possible. And they don’t need any reason other than his hairstyle. Hence have said, “That hair… Carlitos beat him QUICKLY.” Moreover, this fan is not alone in this wish. They have a whole choir behind him singing for Lajal’s defeat, tweeting, “Need Alcaraz to beat this white boy with dreads real bad.

While some fans had a creative suggestion, but that also stemmed from Alcaraz winning the Wimbledon Open. Drawing an analogy from the pineapple fruit, this tennis fan was hoping that Lajal’s hairstyle could support Alcaraz’s trophy on top of it. He tweeted, “#Wimbledon Is Alcaraz playing against a pineapple – I suppose the men’s trophy has one on top of it?!”

This is the 21-year-old Estonian first time in the main draw of any Grand Slam main draw. He certainly didn’t expect such a hue and cry about his hair. And was hoping to make his way to the World No.1 from his current rank of 269. But everything seems to be working against him, as he faces the defending champion in his first round, and the tennis crowd hoping for his defeat. As they tweeted, “I’m so sorry, does this white man playing against Alcaraz have dreads? He needs to lose just because of that omds”

While everyone is looking for Lajal’s defeat, the player believes in himself, more so after his practices at the Patrick Mouratoglou Academy. Where he got the chance to hit with the 24-time grand slam champion, Novak Djokovic. As Alcaraz looks for his 4th Grand Slam, Lajal is looking for an upset to climb his way up. And fans a looking for a great contest on the grass court!
