In a tournament where ‌outfits have drawn attention in both the men's ‌and women's draws, Alcaraz's loose-fitting brown Nike tank ‌top, a Travis Scott x Cactus Jack collaboration, kept slipping to expose his chest.

The seven-time Grand ‌Slam champion's outfit prompted plenty of ⁠memes and witty ‌comments online, with former WTA Tour player Eugenie Bouchard jokingly telling him to "put the nip away."

For his third-round match with China's Wu ​Yibing on Friday, Alcaraz stepped onto Arthur Ashe Stadium wearing a white undershirt beneath his ⁠kit.

"I think I've ​been seeing too much of my nipples lately," Alcaraz told reporters with a laugh after his 6-3 6-4 6-1 win.

The 23-year-old confirmed that ‌the decision to add the undershirt was entirely his own.

"I feel really comfortable with another shirt. So I think I'm going to stay like that," he added.

Alcaraz, who is returning from more than four months out with a wrist injury, has lost one set through his first three singles matches at Flushing ‌Meadows. He next faces American 20th seed ​Tommy Paul, an opponent he has beaten ‌five times in a row.

"He's a really talented player, really difficult one to play," Alcaraz said. "I think he's really dangerous for everyone on the tour. I'm really looking forward ⁠to playing him ⁠once again."
