Nadal is balding!

Nadal definitely has diffuse thinning all over the top of his head, a la Pete Sampras. Federer has a thick mane, but it has no doubt receded; that's why he wears the headband.

You know who has a perfect, thick head of hair? That's right .... SAFIN.

Who cares? Look at Federer ......a guy who is as ugly as quentin tarrentino and dresses like a girl.....still makes boatloads and can get any woman he wants.

My dad still has a full head of hair at 54 and very thick. My mom's side of the family is bald and Ive lost a lot of hair since my teen years and have been thinning out since 20 and I'm 29 now

I figure it has to be related to the maternal side .

Both parents contribute. Nothing related to genetics is a simple dichotomy of "you get x from your father and you get y from your mother". In some cases the paternal side will be dominant; in other cases the maternal side will be dominant but in all cases its an interaction between the two. I read somewhere male pattern baldness is caused by an interaction of 5 different genes.

My father is really really bald, and so are all of his 5 brothers (to differing degrees). The bast-rd teased me when I was a teenager that my hair would fall out. I kept waiting for it to happen. I'm 38 now and I've still got a massive head of hair. Its just luck of the draw.

Hair is damaged by testosterone. So you can't have both great hair and high libido at the same time.

That's simply not true.

Yes - for those genetically prone to male pattern baldness it is triggered by testosterone; however, for men without the genetic predisposition for male pattern baldness their levels of testosterone have nothing to do with it.

I've noticed his hair on top thinner this year. He's always pulling at it and shaking it like a dog out of water.... no wonder he is going bald. Lol.

I'm amazed at the amount of knowledge/myth debunking about hair loss that's going on here. Good for you, guys. It's fascinating.

Edit: yes, I can spot the racquet. A lesbian south-american gang leader and yoga teacher who occasionally plays tennis at the community center.

Am I going to be banned for all the stereotyping?

I apologize in advance. :-|

Come to think of it, if you combine all these different stereotypes it actually creates a very non-stereotypical character. I guess I'm safe.

We have a lot of remedies for baldness in India. I am sure tushylovesrafa can give a roundup of the top ten. Rafa should meet Swami Ramdev. :D

Him and Muzza are definitely balding. Murray jokes about it all the time, wondering who will lose all their hair first. Reeshard is looking a bit thin in top too.

Djokovic's lego hair is clearly enough thickness for the tour.

Very soon we won't be able to tell the men's tour from the Seniors.
