Anger.

#Federer told Lahyani (umpire) that he didn’t ask for his hair to be that short. WHO’S THE CUNT WHO CUT THIS HAIR, WHO? I WANNA KNOW. 🙁

Bargaining.

If having a buzzcut makes Federer play like a god then I bless this hair forever and eternity.

Depression.

Federer got a hair cut. No more bouncy, silky, smooth hair. It truly was perfection. Sad day.

“@rockinguniquely: Don’t like Federer’s new hair cut…cc: @solzy27“Lol it makes him look like a Greek god.

Fine Federer, I’m warming up to the hair. Just keep winning and everyone will stop talking about the hair. Maybe.
