It has been known for years that tennis pros, as well as golfers, have great relationships. These two sports are closely related, and it seems that the audience that follows both sports has similar interests and similar points of view.
The last US Open tennis tournament attracted the attention of famous faces from the world of sports, and Rory McIlroy was among those present in the stands. Namely, he followed the match between Carlos Alcaraz and Opelka, in which the Spanish golfer won in the end.
However, it is important to point out that the two met well before the start of the match on the field, and Rory McIlroy's comment about Carlos Alcaraz's new haircut attracted the most attention.

The young golfer, in fact, cut his hair, and Rory McIlroy was a bit surprised. However, in the end, the Northern Irish golfer was delighted with his new look.
Just got a haircut that I struggled with, Alcaraz told McIlroy during practice.
But I mean I had to start fresh.
"Yeah good! McIlroy replied. I like it!
Carlos Alcaraz and his great swing marked the night
However, one moment attracted the public's attention even more.
The Spanish golfer, after his first-round victory over Reilly Opelka, celebrated by demonstrating his golf swing to McIlroy, who was watching the match, as we have already said.
The Spaniard is clearly a big fan of the 35-year-old golfer, and it seems that besides tennis, golf is his greatest passion and love.
The question is whether we will see Carlos Alcaraz at one of the golf tournaments; that would certainly be a great moment and would give a special touch to the friendship between him and the northern golfer.
