FANS SAY WIMBLEDON champion Carlos Alcaraz looks like a new man with his fresh haircut as they declared: “Give his barber the MVP'”.

Now he could also be bound for billionaire riches after beating Novak Djokovic in last week’s thrilling Wimbledon final.
Before the SW19 spectacular, he was said to be worth £7million thanks to deals with Rolex, Calvin Klein, Louis Vuitton, BMW and racket maker Babolat.
But that will be eclipsed by the £30million he is predicted to make in fresh deals this year with the Wimbledon Nike bucket hat he often sported during interviews at the tournament flying off the shelves.
Yet once he has finished celebrating his latest feat, Alcaraz will return to his parents’ £170,000 flat above a kebab shop in El Palmar.

But first he has headed to the barber’s to get himself a new look, and he showed it off for the first time as he beat David Goffin at the Hopman Cup in Nice this weekend.
The star’s black hair has now been trimmed to a neat short back and sides - and fans absolutely love it.
“Shoutout to Carlos Alcaraz’ new barber, he’s the real MVP,” declared one.
Another tweeter wrote: “Haha I love it, it gives him an edge.”

Alcaraz’s Wimbledon triumph was watched by King of Spain Felipe VI, the Prince and Princess of Wales with Prince George and Princess Charlotte, and celebs including movie royalty Brad Pitt, Rachel Weisz and Daniel Craig.
Climbing the stairs to his player’s box in his moment of victory, he was met by family including parents Carlos Snr and Virginia, big brother Alvaro, younger brother Jaime — as well as coach and ex-No1 Juan Carlos Ferrero, agent Alberto Molina and physio Juanjo Moreno.
He won £2.3million in Wimbledon prize money and also sported a £50,000 Rolex watch as he lifted the golden trophy aloft.
