Cue ball, Mr. Clean, there's nary a nickname a bald person hasn't heard.
The look worked for
Telly Savalas, not to mention
Lex Luthor and the
bully in the "Friday" movies.
With
Andy Roddick's recent conversion to the shaven head look, the number of relevant tennis players going hairless just might be at an all-time peak.
Andre Agassi made the look cool a decade ago, and Roddick has joined the ranks of
James Blake,
Nikolay Davydenko and
Ivan Ljubicic sporting it today.
Of course, the
shaved look isn't for everyone, and it takes a true leap of faith to try it out.
Doing so could be disastrous for professional players. A bad haircut means their stock as potential advertising pitchmen and women plummets, along with their face time during major tournaments.
To help a few of our favorite netters, we've taken the liberty of previewing what they might look like bald.
Submitted for your approval (or disgust) below, are a few of the more interesting finds.
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga - Not terrible, but not great. He reminds us more of the old Superman villain "Brainiac" than anything. The bald head template comes courtesy former New York Knick salary-cap waste Stephon Marbury.
Venus Williams - Horrifying. Even that million dollar can't take away from the chrome dome up ahead. But props to Delroy Lindo for providing the head set.
Caroline Wozniacki - You just thought she would look beautiful no matter what her hair style was. Big mistake, Chachi. Buzz cut courtesy Natalie Portman.
Roger Federer - The worst of the worst. We guarantee if Federer had worn this hairstyle for his entire career, he would have 6-8 less Grand Slam titles because the officials would have taken close points away from him for being so gosh darn ugly. And yes, that is Andre Agassi's dome on top of the Swiss peak.
