Agassi wore a wig during some of his playing days.

Former tennis star Andre Agassi, 54, admitted his signature long hair was a wig, which he wore after beginning to lose his locks at age 19. He even claimed worrying about it cost him the 1990 French Open.

"Every morning I would get up and find another piece of my identity on the pillow, in the wash basin, down the plughole,” Agassi wrote in his autobiography Open.

He added: "Of course I could have played without my hairpiece, but what would all the journalists have written if they knew that all the time I was really wearing a wig? During the warming-up training before play I prayed. Not for victory, but that my hairpiece would not fall off... “With each leap, I imagine it falling into the sand."
