Hair is already practical: keep it warm in winter, keep the sun off your head in summer. And who makes something out of it (or can do it): Is usually mentally one step ahead of his opponent.
But what if it's slowly getting less up there and you spend more time in front of the mirror than on the training court? In case of doubt, nothing helps if the defensive game threatens to be exposed. Then it's all or nothing, full offensive! Like Andre Agassi, who admitted in his autobiography that he had played with toupee for large parts of his career, which he almost flew away in the 1990 French Open final ...

Allegedly contractually obliged to wear a headband: Alexander Zverev already has beautiful hair.
Long mane, the public didn't know anything about the wig for a long time: Andre Agassi in the late 1980s.
Agassi now maintains the motto: After all, a beautiful face needs space.
Has there ever been a tennis player with a nicer mane? We bow to Björn Borg today.
In the course of his career it was more like "Ferner ran", but then Boris Becker turned up when it came to hairstyles!
Let's put it this way: We like Dominic Thiem's current hairstyle better ...
Goran Ivanisevic and the "Mop" model.
A little less ambitious, but we see a similar principle with Patrick Rafter.
Rafter's brother in spirit: Roger Federer.
Even David Hasselhoff was probably jealous of this mat: Andy Murray at the beginning of his career.
The early James Blake.
The headband has remained with him - just on a shorter run.
The man with the "Prince Eisenherz hairstyle": Bernd Karbacher.
A hairstyle at least as spectacular as his tennis: Yannick Noah.
You had to be glad the headband was already invented. Otherwise John McEnroe would hardly have fit in portrait format.
