US Open Men’s Champion and new world #1 wearing a Rolex

[Seong17]

What a match! It’s great to see the next wave of tennis champions. Congrats to Carlos Alcaraz on his first slam and world #1 ranking as of tomorrow.

Alcaraz put on his Daytona (SS Black dial?) in preparation for the awards ceremony.

He signed as an ambassador in January - looks like he’s wearing the same Daytona! Wonder what Rolex will send him in celebration of his win?!

What an accomplishment. Congratulations to Carlos, well played

Probably bought grey.

Yep, baby Rafa is definitely a special player…
Played in 3 straight 5 set matches just to get to the final…
I guess at 19yrs old it’s no big deal though…

I couldn’t play 1 x 5 sets at 19, let alone 3. This guy is a machine.

He is incredible! The youngest N1 in history.

This guy is such a beast. I will enjoy watching him for the next many years. I think there was another prior post referencing it, but the women’s champ, Iga Swiatek, is also a Rolex ambassador. Rolex must be quite pleased with their tennis ambassadors!

I’m confused, because that looks like a smooth (not domed) bezel DD36. Is it just the picture, and it’s actually fluted? Especially since it looks like WG…

He’s okay. Not too many greats left.

Ah! I think you’re right! Looking at the image on a different screen where I can zoom in better I see the bezel is fluted, the metal appears yellow, and the dial has no “day” window.

In a world of oversized bling, it’s a nice, classic, choice.

Yes, I imagine she could have any ref that she wants. With these ambassadors, I always wonder how much choice they get for the pieces they wear. I imagine Federer could basically pick whatever he wants, whereas a lesser player maybe maybe gets told what to wear?

Congrats to both champions! Big future ahead.

I’m sure they can all have whatever they want, though perhaps Rolex provides specific pieces to be seen in post-tournament? Though in a world where every Rolex sells itself, and there are no special editions, it’s not like there’s a need to push something in particular.

Would be interested in the reaction if, for example, one’s preference was for something odd, like a YMII, or a guy who preferred small and wanted to be seen in an OP34.
