INDIAN WELLS – If any tennis player needs to get involved in a good-natured exchange about hair, it's Canada's Milos Raonic.

So when Scotland's Andy Murray got on Twitter Thursday morning to answer a few questions from fans – and the legendary Roger Federer immediately chimed in – you know he couldn't resist.

Raonic's coach Ivan Ljubicic – Raonic's polar opposite in the follicle department, also couldn't help himself.

Here's how it went:

Murray Wednesday at Indian Wells – funnily enough, not curly at all, despite Federer's question.

Raonic coach Ivan Ljubicic, not the king, who's heard ALL the jokes before:

The biggest issue for Ljubicic in his career was the nasty headband tan he used to get on the court. (Stephanie Myles/opencourt.ca)

Murray, as it should be, had the final word. And it was a beauty.
