John McEnroe brought back his iconic 80s look after he was spotted filming a TV commercial at a local tennis club.
The former American tennis player, 65, will once again be part of the BBC’s Wimbledon coverage this summer when he returns on Monday.
McEnroe, a three-time champion at SW19, is remembered by fans for his brunette curls, which he often sported with a springy headband.
And on Saturday, McEnroe was spotted recreating the look while filming a commercial at a local club.
Her signature hairstyle returned in the form of a wig with a red headband on top, along with a pair of white shorts and a polo shirt.

The 65-year-old former American tennis star will be back on the BBC’s Wimbledon coverage this summer when he returns on Monday.
McEnroe completed the look with a pair of red and white ankle-high Nike sneakers and beige, navy and white sneakers.
The former player also donned a navy blue coat as he moved around the set.
In another set of shots, McEnroe removed his wig and swapped it for a pair of sunglasses.
The look emulated McEnroe’s victory in the 1981 men’s singles final at Wimbledon, when he was 22.
It comes after John reiterated calls for a statue of Andy Murray to be unveiled at Wimbledon to honour the triple Grand Slam winner’s achievements in the sport.
It is not yet known whether Murray, 37, will be fit to compete at this year’s championships.

There has long been talk of a statue of the Scot on the grounds of the All England Club, where in 2013 he became the first Briton to win Wimbledon since Fred Perry in 1936. For McEnroe, the right outcome is clear.

“If I had to make that decision, I would say absolutely yes, because it’s a long drought, 77 years,” McEnroe said.
“He has completely changed the way people view British tennis. He is one of the best competitors I have ever seen play tennis.
“It would be well deserved and it would be fantastic, because two of her three Grand Slam victories (2013 and 2016) were at Wimbledon and the Olympic Games (gold medal in 2012).
‘He was part of the ‘big four’ and finished 2016 as the best player in the world.
“It’s unfortunate that you don’t hear about him in the same way as before about (bad) injuries. Now he’s like the ‘big three.’
‘There’s a saying I’ve used many times: “The older I get, the better I used to be.”

“And unfortunately, when you have injuries, it’s pretty difficult, if not impossible, to get to the level you were at.”
Earlier this month, All England Club chief executive Sally Bolton explained that the decision on how to commemorate Murray’s achievements at Wimbledon was in her hands.
She said: ‘We have a variety of avenues for our plans for Andy. At the appropriate time we will make those relevant announcements.
“But it’s certainly up to Andy to make the decision as to when we activate those plans.”
