LONDON -- Yes, okay, so Nadal may have been knocked out of Wimbledon early and Federer did do that fairly impressive trick shot that everyone's talking about, but you can forget both of those things now because there's a new headline story in town.
This guy's epic hair.
Impressive 'do'. Not something I would ever have myself. But it is inventive. It's quite a large hair cut #Wimbledon pic.twitter.com/NCdbpqsnV3— josh (@j_vine95) July 2, 2015
Seriously, look at that hair.

The man sporting the glorious thicket was spotted in the crowd at Wimbledon on Thursday, causing Twitter to go into a brief, excitable meltdown.
There's a man at #Wimbledon with hair like a bird's nest. I hope it's a wig because otherwise it's a hairbrush nightmare.— Alyson Shipley (@houdsmum) July 2, 2015

We don't know who you are, mystery hair man, but we feel for you in this rare British heatwave.
UPDATED, 10:00 a.m. BST, July 6: The mystery hair man has been identified as a guitarist and vocalist for Sheffield-based band Feral Mantra!
HERE ITIS!! Sheffield we will be playing at The Leadmill on the 14th of August... #sheffieldissuper #doncasterisgreat pic.twitter.com/JjL4nXDnyQ— Feral Mantra (@FERALMANTRA) June 7, 2015
Rollins told Mashable he first became aware of the attention around his hair after his band mate messaged him to say they'd been getting comments on the band's Twitter page.
"I plugged my phone in to charge and had a few hundred notifications and knew something must of happened," said Rollins. "I expected to be on camera – I was last year too!"
Rollins said he gets comments about his hair on a daily basis. "I'm used to it now though, I get my picture taken in public as people recognise me from my band Feral Mantra. I was surprised at how viral it became, thanks to the guy who paused me on mid blink, also gotta love that."
When we asked Rollins about his hair, he explained that he camped out for two days to get centre court tickets, so hadn't been able to style it. "It wasn't an ideal circumstance to be scrutinised for my appearance," Rollins said. "At least I had a decent shirt on."
Rollins said his hair normally only takes 10 minutes to style. "On this particular day I'm sure anyone with long hair can sympathise 35 degree heat and humidity is a nightmare for frizz," he said. "However normally it's fairly simple, I just don't use conditioner; it's standard procedure from there, brush and hairspray that's all."
