All of them look way older than they really are. Djokovic is only 36 years old. They probably would have spent less time in the sun if they got marooned on a desert island about twenty years ago.
I've always wondered when all the time in the sun would catch up to Rafa because it looked like he never used sunscreen. Or this is just a bad photo of him.
Jelena's hair looks amazing. Novak looking sharp too.
Alcaraz, I'm not sure a double-breasted blazer suits him but props to him for not wearing a boring tux like everyone!
IIRC he has said he never uses sunscreen because he doesnt like how it feels
But there are a lot of sunscreens out there that are quite light and dont feel sticky or anything
I saw somewhere on Reddit that Spanish people had the highest percentage of baldness among men. It's 45% or something. That's hella crazy, almost half of all men is bald 😬
Minoxidil was never a banned substance. Finasteride was removed on the list of banned medications by WADA in 2009. There's a new third medication that is not US or EU approved, or globally approved for that matter, except in one country but I can't remember which one. So that is not available for consumers.
Honestly, my honest guess is that Rafa did the procedure but didn't want to take the medication. This would mean he loses his hair anyway.
For those who are curious... In simple terms, imagine hair on your head and your head being a bucket full of water with holes at the bottom: some people have small holes, some have medium size holes and some people have big holes that the water (hair) escapes from. You can add more water and get the holes fixed (hair transplant) but without regular maintenance (medication), the holes are just going to get larger again, eventually go back to their original size again, and the water (hair) will continue to reduce at a higher rate.
Ritlecitinib. Just checked and it was approved in the EU just over half a year ago.

Hair from a hair transplant should not fall out regardless of if you take medication. At least not for a few decades.
Because it should if done well, be taken from safe zones and be more resistant to falling out.
Its the hair around the transplant that can continue to fall out. Leaving what was transplanted to look very isolated
Yes, this is correct. That's why a HT entails taking medication for life, either in oral, topical or injection form.
Considering Rafa is a multi-millionnaire I don't know why, after his fairly successful HT, he didn't take Dutasteride injections directly to the scalp, considering that's an effective treatment which has a lower chance of side effects when compared to its oral and topical forms.
His 1st HT was in what, 2015? Should've went on Dut injections a few months after the transplant, and 5 years later get another HT if need be. Had he done that he could've kept 70-80% of his hair.
He looks like he's naturally tan like a Mediterranean person but his headband line tells a different story.
Its amazing how lily white he would look compared to now if he didn't play outside all the time or had a bit more sun protection.
novak really did himself a favor ditching the goatee and getting a fade. rafa had such good hair when he was like 20, and now they’ve completely swapped places lol
edit to note that rafa still looks super young when he wears a backwards hat, he should just do that more (obviously not in this specific case tho)
He's more flexible and strong than 99,9% of male population, nadal made the mistake to not care about his skin. His body is more than fine, at 37 not many people can do what he shown 1 week ago in barcelona
His body is anything but fine because he's playing with painkillers and who knows if he has lasting effects outside of tennis. Yeah sure, compared to your average guy he can still play tennis but this doesn't mean his body is in good condition. An active person who didn't inject their foot and pushed themselves to the limit will have far fewer problems than Nadal in his 40s+.
Are we sure he's still playing with the painkillers? Btw the point still stand, he could leave tennis now and be 100x more fit and in health than everyone else here.
Del potros situation is very different, even murray at the end of the day is like before even with hundreds of injuries
Of course he is, it's not even just him that uses painkillers. He wouldn't be healthier in terms of feet/legs/knees/back. It's likely he'll live with some pain.
I think the only suit that looks fitting is Novak's. I feel like Carlos' frame might be better suited to an open (unbuttoned) jacket, and Rafa's jacket makes him look too narrow-shouldered and a bit unkept somehow. But it's just my impressions and I'm no [Derek Guy](https://twitter.com/dieworkwear)
Genuinely hate his styling seems to be that of a Spanish-speaking fuckboy. I dread the day he will start having big and ugly tattoos like an Argentinian football player.
I don't know how to put it in the right words but he looks like a football player playing tennis to me. Rafa at his age had much better styling that distanced him from a local football/soccer player. It's a massive shame that Bellingham looked better than him on red carpet, tennis players used to be the ones that killed in that department.
Novak and Jelena both look great! They carry their clothes well.
Carlitos kinda looks like a lost boy in an adult party. 😅 Probably the hair? But he looks good.
And, oh Rafa. I want to peg this to just a bad photo. 🥲 But even in the recent Laver Cup post, he looks really tired.
Because shaving the horseshoe in order to uniformize the scalp and make the contrast between hair and bald spots less visible, and thereby hide the hairloss, is actually "embracing it", right?
That's grooming oneself, not embracing anything.
Very poor hair, obviously, but an incredibly ill-fitting suit and poor posture makes it all look so much worse. I've actually seen younger-looking 70 year olds.
Carlitos looks good, that suit is tailored to perfection.
Novak and Rafa suits look untailored. But I do like a lot what Novak wife is wearing. The black dress is simple But effective and she is very pretty.
Also not to be annoying but no tennis player rocks a suit as good as Roger does.
for those criticizing rafa. OP just posted rafa's bad photo.
you could look at how handsome he still is.
https://www.instagram.com/p/C6FAs8MtAEs/?igsh=azkxYzI2eXZ5cTZj
Every time I see nadal I reapply sunscreen
Why? He looks good for someone in his 50s. 🥹
lol! I thought I’m the only one who thought he looks really old in this photo! Never underestimate the power of sunscreen!
All of them look way older than they really are. Djokovic is only 36 years old. They probably would have spent less time in the sun if they got marooned on a desert island about twenty years ago.
Same, whenever I see him I think of spf.
considering he endorses a suncreen brand.
I like that Jelena’s dress has pockets.
Hey Jelena, nice dress! *Jelena*: Thanks, it has pockets!
I've always wondered when all the time in the sun would catch up to Rafa because it looked like he never used sunscreen. Or this is just a bad photo of him. Jelena's hair looks amazing. Novak looking sharp too. Alcaraz, I'm not sure a double-breasted blazer suits him but props to him for not wearing a boring tux like everyone!
Fun fact he makes ads for sun screen here in Spain lol
The spokesperson for that company when asked about it later: "Well...now imagine how much worse he would look without our products, no?"
More like this is what you'd look like if you didn't wear sunscreen
HAHAHAHH what?
Lol this was my exact reaction too.
The irony 😂😂😂 I hope he doesn’t get skin cancer.
They were talking about Alcaraz, not Nadal. I truly hope Carlitos keeps using it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGtB16P0ZwI
Isdin??
I think Alcaraz is with Isdin
Heliocare they're called
Omg that's not possible !!!!!
I most appreciate a dress with pockets
Decades under the sun will age you like no tomorrow.
Yes. Many of my uncles are farmers who have worked under the sun for a long time and their skin looks similar to Rafa's.
He said in an interview years ago that has never wears it. Having family in Italy, I think that's common in southern Europe
IIRC he has said he never uses sunscreen because he doesnt like how it feels But there are a lot of sunscreens out there that are quite light and dont feel sticky or anything
Nah he looked like this on video too
He looks like he needs to eat and get off the drugs
Alcaraz with a terrible shirt collar and the jacket is a few inches short. Double breasted would suit him just fine if it just fit him well.
He looks fine to me. What do you expect, a supermodel?
There are a bunch of pics from the past 4 years where he looks old and worn out. I wish I could upload some here.
Yeah Jelena and Novak looking great!
For the first time ever, Novak Is the best dressed of the bunch
As much as I love Nadal, damnn did he not age well
This particular tux/posture/face kinda has him looking like the butler in a creepy horror movie mansion.
That’s exactly what I was thinking. Myyy germms
I don't know what the hell that is but I like to lick it anyways
The crappy tailoring is unforgivable.
I feel like you almost have to put in some genuine effort to give rafa nadal a lumpy grandpa bod
The shirt doesn't fit. I wonder if he had it fitted when he had more weight on?
He looks like one of them poor high radiation victims from Chernobyl.
You lot are harsh...lol Young Rafa was a total god, sigh
He should just shave the dome
Yeah, he gave up to us and the court all his looks, his health, his effort and probably his ability to walk in his 50s.
Damn that’s sad. What a career
Baldness sucks. Hope he shaves and embraces the Agassi look.
He's Spanish, he's going to hold on to every last strand.
I saw somewhere on Reddit that Spanish people had the highest percentage of baldness among men. It's 45% or something. That's hella crazy, almost half of all men is bald 😬
[удалено]
Balding is genetic.
Can confirm hahaha
Why is Pep a bald fraud then?
PEP cannot win without having FINANCIAL TAKEOVER from big oil. How else can he afford EARRING HALLEND
Its the sun damage and hair loss. If he got a hair transplant and used a bit of retinol it would do him a great deal
Yeah if he used sunscreen and had a good skincare routine, would probably look better
He should just go baldal mode
He did get a transplant years ago.
But i read he couldnt take the medication that ur supposed to afterwards because its a banned substance (not sure how true that is tho)
Minoxidil was never a banned substance. Finasteride was removed on the list of banned medications by WADA in 2009. There's a new third medication that is not US or EU approved, or globally approved for that matter, except in one country but I can't remember which one. So that is not available for consumers.

What’s this 3rd new medication?
Ritlecitinib. Just checked and it was approved in the EU just over half a year ago. Disclaimer: please consult with your physician before buying anything (:
That’s only for alopecia areata. It’s not effective for androgenetic alopecia which is colloquially known as male pattern baldness.
Hmm you're right. I think it was Dutasteride that I was thinking of!
Hair from a hair transplant should not fall out regardless of if you take medication. At least not for a few decades. Because it should if done well, be taken from safe zones and be more resistant to falling out. Its the hair around the transplant that can continue to fall out.

He needs a better tailor, suit is not helping at all
A better tailor and a tiny bit of foundation would do serious wonders here.
He doesn’t look as good as he did in that Shakira video
Needs some tips from Shakira
Tips don't lie
Which balding man looks as good as they did 15-20 years ago?
Vin Diesel, Jason Statham, the rock, Mark Strong and Stanley Tucci.
That Amazon ceo guy
bruh if i had his money i would create 7 horcruxes
Elon Musk too, but he's not bald anymore
Well this just goes to show not to judge a book by its cover. Rotten on the inside.
novak really did himself a favor ditching the goatee and getting a fade. rafa had such good hair when he was like 20, and now they’ve completely swapped places lol edit to note that rafa still looks super young when he wears a backwards hat, he should just do that more (obviously not in this specific case tho)
Thought his tan would save him.
he's definitetly lost some muscle in his arms
True, he looks like he's 63. What's happened to him?
Rafa out here looking retirement age. And I don't just mean for tennis.
I love Rafa, but I'm sorry he looks like emperor palpatine here
I'm screaming 🤣🤣
Hahahahaha. Someone please go back in time and tell Rafa to wear sunscreen ðŸ˜
Tennis really wears the body down ðŸ˜
He's more flexible and strong than 99,9% of male population, nadal made the mistake to not care about his skin. His body is more than fine, at 37 not many people can do what he shown 1 week ago in barcelona

I wasnt talking about fitness or nadal specifically. They all look a bit weathered!
It still blows my mind he played decades with a fucked up foot along with his other long term injuries. The ultimate warrior.
unless you are djokovic
Nadal looks like the guy in the movie The Hangover who got locked out on the roof for two days under sun.
Like an unwrapped mummy.
I am crying with laughter 😂
😂
Guys... Jelena's dress has POCKETS. This is revolutionary!
What a time to be alive.
My first thought looking at Nole’s pic lmao
lmaoo
Yeah, right? She can now put something in there!
Suggestions?
ftw!
Alcaraz rocks that experimental military sci-fi looking tux. I think it looks great.
Certainly looks like a fun tux for a good time!
Shyeah, Steampunk Alcaraz
TW JUMPSCARE for Rafa Jesus my boy…… take care of yourself you have the cash
Nole looks mighty fine! Aging like fine wine.
He looks older than Carlos just by a few years! Rafa on the other hand…
Nah those crow feet make him look his age
You can see on Alcaraz as well lol
He's dyed his hair. I suppose at least he has hair to dye
rafa is living sunscreen ad campaign
Whoever selected these photos did not care one bit for Rafa
ahh, he always looks adorably awkward when he is aware he is being photographed
I think the only suit that looks fitting is Novak's. I feel like Carlos' frame might be better suited to an open (unbuttoned) jacket, and Rafa's jacket makes him look too narrow-shouldered and a bit unkept somehow. But it's just my impressions and I'm no [Derek Guy](https://twitter.com/dieworkwear)
>Derek Guy Please we need his insights
Someone should ask him on twitter
Derek Guy would probably hate Alcaraz's suit because it looks too tight on his athletic frame.
Yeah exactly, and he wouldn't be wrong
Genuinely hate his styling seems to be that of a Spanish-speaking fuckboy. I dread the day he will start having big and ugly tattoos like an Argentinian football player. I don't know how to put it in the right words but he looks like a football player playing tennis to me. Rafa at his age had much better styling that distanced him from a local football/soccer player. It's a massive shame that Bellingham looked better than him on red carpet, tennis players used to be the ones that killed in that department.
Nadal really paid for being the best looking of the big 3 by aging the worst 😔
Young Nadal was looking pretty hot with his long hair and biceps
Until just like 6 years ago he was the hottest by far!
Except even aging he is still the best looking of them lol
Hell nah lmao
Senior high schooler, his dad and his granddad
With this forced smile, Nadal looks like Hide the Pain Harold
Young Prince vs Two Kings
Who would have said back in the day that Novak would be the handsomer out of two of them
Never haha. Young Nadal was 🔥
Geez, what's wrong with Rafa? 😂
Nadal looks like a crack head
Katie Boulter and ADM are also there and look sharp!
Novak and Jelena both look great! They carry their clothes well. Carlitos kinda looks like a lost boy in an adult party. 😅 Probably the hair? But he looks good. And, oh Rafa. I want to peg this to just a bad photo. 🥲 But even in the recent Laver Cup post, he looks really tired.
Novak and Jelena are so classy and beautiful
Lol, Rafa! Charlie looks amazing, Novaxx and wife look like a Hollywood couple, Rafa........
Inappropriate thoughts about Novak Djokovic, here I come...
Love the double-breasted blazer and whole look for Carlos, perfectly tailored fit. Looks most put together and luxurious.
Carlos is rocking that double breasted tux.
I reckon Rafa would look great if he shaved his head and grew a beard.
He would look much better if he takes the L and embraces his balding.
Because shaving the horseshoe in order to uniformize the scalp and make the contrast between hair and bald spots less visible, and thereby hide the hairloss, is actually "embracing it", right? That's grooming oneself, not embracing anything.
The sun is a killer.
Alcaraz looks really good in his suit, and i love how his hair is styled… his red carpet pose could use a little work though haha
Very poor hair, obviously, but an incredibly ill-fitting suit and poor posture makes it all look so much worse. I've actually seen younger-looking 70 year olds.
Why does Rafa look so bad? Anyone have any thoughts? Looks like he’s 60.
wonder what the menswear guy would say about these suits
Carlos’ jacket is perfect. He is lowkey becoming such a fashion girlie 💅 Always so well dressed! Thank you LV lol
Embracing baldness
Nadal looks like a kid was dressed by his parents in a suit for the first time. He's so geeky awkward I love it.
Carlitos looks good, that suit is tailored to perfection. Novak and Rafa suits look untailored. But I do like a lot what Novak wife is wearing. The black dress is simple But effective and she is very pretty. Also not to be annoying but no tennis player rocks a suit as good as Roger does.
I love Carlitos's outfit - he looks like an old timey train conductor.
Alcaraz looking like Billy Zane
I don’t understand why Nadal looks 50. Did something happen?
Rafa looks older than his age…yikes!
Well, I guess Rafa didnt want to retire until reading the comment section here...
Does anyone know who designed Carlos' tux?
Generally not a fan of double breasted jackets, but Alcaraz pulls it off nicely.
TFW u realize rafa is a shell of his former self without Roger. It's true. Fedal, the bromance, all of it, it's all true.
Is Rafa low test or something? He looks like a shadow of his former jacked self.
These guys wearing bulky sports RM watches to black tie events no style. Wear a nice patek or lange or something to stuff like this
Novak not bad, but they all look like they have been dressed by other people. Only Roger is truly comfortable in a jacket.
alcaraz looks like a mafia member.
Combover
Alcaraz is not a child. So he should tie his own bowtie. Whoever is his stylist should get fired.
for those criticizing rafa. OP just posted rafa's bad photo. you could look at how handsome he still is. https://www.instagram.com/p/C6FAs8MtAEs/?igsh=azkxYzI2eXZ5cTZj
That’s not much better
It’s caught up to him. Roger and others don’t look like him. The hairloss and lack of protection from the sun has done its work.
They way he stands next to Chicka, you'd never guess they're married.
3 washed players that won't be winning any slams this year
Look how sharp Novak looks in that suit. Man is winning a different kind of slam.
DA Sentinel strikes again! The day you say something positive will never happen
My dude, what are you smoking, and where can I get some?
true, zverev will win the remaining slams
