WHAT HAPPENED: "I felt like my hair was really long already. Before the tournament I just really wanted to get a haircut. Suddenly just my brother just—he misunderstood with the machine. He just cut it. Then, you know, the only way to fix it is just shave it off. To be honest, it's not that bad. I guess."
WHAT IT MEANS: "I'm not really into the hair at all. I'm the guy who thinks, 'Okay, the hair grows and in a few days it's going to be already okay.' It just happened."
EFFECT ON HIS PLAY: "I think I was faster. It was funny when I saw myself on the screen with the haircut. [My head] was super white. It's weird for me to see myself that white in the hair."
EFFECT IN COURT OF PUBLIC OPINION: "Some people like it. Some people don't like it. I'm just laughing about the reaction of the people. I can't do anything else right now, so I'm just laughing about everything that they are [saying] about my haircut."
BIG FOE'S (aka Frances Tiafoe) BIG DISS: "I saw the video. He showed up saying that it is terrible. Frances is lying. Frances is lying. I know he is lying. I know he likes the haircut. He told me. So [do] not [believe] anything coming from his mouth."
MATCH POINT: "Every time that I get a haircut, in two or three days, it's gone. I feel angry sometimes because I feel like I cannot enjoy my haircut that much. In three days you're going to see another hair."
