[WATCH] Svetlana cuts her hair during live match
Russian tennis player Svetlana Kuznetsova became an Internet sensation by doing an impromptu hair cut during live match in the WTA Finals opener at Singapore.
The evergreen tennis star, who only qualified for the elite eight-woman tournament on Saturday after winning the Kremlin Cup, gave herself an impromptu haircut at the changeover while trailing 1-2 her Polish opponent Agnieszka Radwanska on Monday.
The 31-year-old Russian then asked the umpire for a pair of scissors, and soon she hacked off major portion of her ponytail to the amusement everyone.
She went onto win the match 7-5, 1-6, 7-5, and the video became viral. After the match, she wrote in an Instagram message, “Sometimes you gotta do it not by best hairdressers and not at [the] best time.”

The WTA said, “It's "something you don’t see every day."
Interestingly, British number one Andy Murray did the same thing last season's ATP Finals, during his match against Rafael Nadal.
