A few weeks ago, the eight-time Grand Slam champion talked about his famous hairstyle in a commercial and highlighted how it was one of the best mullets in the ’80s and ’90s. He said, “No question, I had the best mullet you know. You know how many mullets I see here now they’re not even close. I went to the barber one day and I was like “Give me a mohawk” so it started as a Mohawk.”
