Designers have made their fair share of recommendations for sporting a ponytail in the past few seasons, but with the U.S. Open kicking off, we can’t help but think that tennis’s top players may be our best resource.

Players are as recognizable for their texture, braids, and ponytail height as they are for their topspin and serve. From Chris Evert’s low, ribbon-tied look to Mónica Puig’s braided variation, here is a tribute to the best tennis ponytails over the years.
