Down the Line! assesses the hairy mess plaguing men’s tennis and looks to David Beckham as a model for proper styling.
While I agree that certain men should stay away from grown-out ‘dos — either because they can’t keep it neat (e.g., Sergio Roitman) or because it’s just not flattering (e.g., the thin but not thinning hair of David Ferrer and Igor Andreev) — we should give props to the adventurous:
- James Blake (both as Sideshow Bob and when he bics it),
- Andy Murray (who buzzed),
- Lleyton Hewitt,
- the colorful Zack Fleishman,
- and the well-maintained curly tresses of Argentine Juan Monaco.
And yes, there is definitely room for more variety… what about a mohawk? The women do all sorts of crazy with their hair. Step up, guys! I’m dying to see it.
Love it – props to those who wear it well!
