Yeah, after a quick search on the net it would seem he only started wearing it in the 90s. It seems bizarre though that in a few years he should have lost so much hair, but hairy guys can easily bald early and sometimes very early.
I've watched a few 1988 interviews & will add that the suspicion arises that his hair was already being VERY CAREFULLY groomed back then, as if to cover areas of embarassment, and that possibly even then it only LOOKED like he had a lot of it...
this is the tournament i fell in love with Andre. I was in eighth grade and sick for a week so i was at home and did nothing but watch andre all day long. this was his breakout year. it was all she wrote for me. i loved this boy with all my heart.

@suddenlyitsobvious I thought the wig came a bit later in his career when he started wearing the hat?

Amazing to think Andre was wearing a wig. Styled by ex-intelligence operative Bolletieri. It's all about social engineering, even tennis.
Agassi played like crap in this set.

I hate Mats Wilander. He is a complete and utter p**is. He's even a tw*t now on his stupid "Game, Set and Mats" show on Eurosport...

Mats was close to loosing this and also in the fourth round Vs Zivojinovic but came back and won in 5 gruelling sets. 1988 was Mats year.
