Keys: Sveta's Self Hair Cut Shocking
Madison Keys
knows how it feels to be pelted by a pony-tail during a rally.
So the seventh-seeded American isn't splitting hairs calling
Svetlana Kuznetsova's
self hair-cut on court a "shocking" yet practical act.
WTA Finals:
Kuznetsova Rallies Past Pliskova In Thriller
Keys credited Kuznetsova for taking the scissors into her own hands, but called the shearing shocking insisting she won't be doing any self snipping.
"She cut a lot off," Keys said of Kuznetsova. "Clearly it wasn't going into her face anymore. That was shocking. I will never be doing that. Ever. Good for her for giving herself a haircut."
The youngest player in the WTA Finals field opts for the old-school bun to prevent any hair-raising issues on court.
"I think I've pretty much always been a bun person," Keys said. "I don't like if it's moving around or if I can feel it or anything like that. I usually have like seven hair ties in so that it doesn't move either, and I pretty much figured that out from day one and I've never turned back."
"I've tried a ponytail or a braid before. Hit me in the face. Wasn't digging it. Instead of cutting my hair I just put it in a bun."
Kuznetsova has received several texts and emails from hair stylists offering to cut her hair; her regular hair stylist joked "I'm going to kill you," she said.
"It doesn't look so good, but if I tell you the truth I didn't dry it and look at it properly," Kuznetsova said of her trim job. "Because I don't want to be really depressed."
Ana Ivanovic
has a solution for long-haired pros and amateurs alike.
Before the US Open, the former No. 1 shot this Vogue video as a tutorial on how to create the perfect ponytail for players to prevent the flying-hair facial shots both Kuznetsova and Keys experienced.
