J. J. serves the UPSET 🐺 🧨 Wolf takes out seed No. 14 Hurkacz in straight sets! #IBI23 | @atptour
Former world No. 1 Andy Roddick jokingly commented on J.J. Wolf's hairstyle during the Rome Open.
The 24-year-old tennis player was originally drawn to play against Quentin Halys in the first round, but the Frenchman withdrew before the match, so he faced lucky loser Hugo Grenier instead. After his victory, Wolf advanced to the second round by defeating Polish player Hubert Hurkacz.
“Hubi is one of the best players out here. I was just honored to be on the court with him today,” Wolf said after beating Hurckacz.
Roddick playfully suggested that Wolf might have gone to Supercuts and asked for the reverse Ricky Vaughn from 'Major League' due to his hairstyle.
“Yeah I was just thinking as we were talking about J.J. Wolf. It’s like he went to Supercuts and asked for the reverse Ricky Vaughn from ‘Major League.’ Like there is no chance that J.J. Wolf got that haircut in Europe. There’s no chance, they wouldn’t do it," 2003 US Open champion said.
Wolf is currently ranked 54th in the ATP rankings and is getting ready to play against Alexander Zverev in the third round.
