Funny Tennis Player Imitations!!

[@milossiljko6819]

The very best impersonating I've ever seen.

[@miguelpincos]

Gosh! You’re a master of sharp observation! I literally saw the players there! It gave me so much laughter to hear the voices! This was sooo good!! I hope they posted it on Tennis United soon! Thiem, Nadal and Kyrgios were my favorites

[@steliosgkontsaris]

Miguel Jurado Thanks man! I hope they posted it on tennis United too ! How can we do that hahaha

[@alexanders46435]

Stelios Gkontsaris Hey man, I was going to suggest something similar to this on my initial post, but saw how much traction your video was gaining on it’s own. I am friendly with former US Open chair umpire Cecil Hollins, I’ve worked with former President, Chairperson and CEO of the USTA and US Open (Katrina Adams) and have friends who are in contact with current tour player Noah Rubin. Let’s see if we can get you the publicity you deserve... Whether your video gets picked up by ATP Tennis TV or you get an opportunity to perform your impressions in-person at this year’s US Open, your work deserves to be seen.

[@steliosgkontsaris]

Alexander Pahlavi wow! I would be so happy to experience any of what you mentioned!

[@steliosgkontsaris]

Alexander Pahlavi you know what’s the best I think? That I can rally quite good while doing these imitations ! Not just swinging and killing flies

[@colofsco1]

Nick Kyrgios had me on the floor laughing. His footwork was hilarious, and through the leg shot topped it off. Nick to a tee 😂

[@michelesorrenti9234]

Perfect the so ugly two handed backhand of NIck Kirgios, he never bends over his legs

[@PatoNani18]

His underarm serve was missing

[@Taratatante]

He wasnt practising it at the time

[@babbonatale4223]

Hold his beer! 😅😂

[@TurboBusters]

What about the short moment when he was about to smash the racket but changed his mind, had me burst out laughing

[@verdugui85]

The way Wawrinka walks away after winning the point 😂 improves the original

[@homotechnium7628]

The shoulder swag is on point

[@Lotus_Lola]

The Nick Kyrgios impression was savage.

[@Kazzzzzo]

I missed the unexpected underarm serve, but yeah, Kyrgios I LMAOed. 😊😊

[@4everNeverbabe96]

He rly plays the backhand like this

[@Andrei.Grumeza]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@crisucris8387]

The Kyrgios serve looks more like Karlovic tbh

[@1224polo]

Those headphones on the neck 😂😂😂

[@LinusFeynstein]

The best is the first with Murray, especially when he is running to get a dropshot with that funny aaahhh. And kyrgios cave man walk

[@danmeadowsmusic]

Ahaha I'm so glad other people picked up on Murray surprised animal grunt when someone hits a dropshot on him ahahahah

[@Beechaii2]

And good detailing - when Andy has to change direction awkwardly he often has to tap his racquet on the ground (presumably for balance) 😉

[@jeroenvermunt862]

Agree. The kinda lunatic expression on the face at the beginning, the sidewards armmovement after the service and than slipping away getting a drop shot. Beyond epic.

[@MourningMoons]

Best was nickkkkkk

[@JiraiyaSama86]

DanimalLawlz gotta love when he does that to chase a drop shot. Fun fact- Ferrer does the same thing.

[@mgr001]

Wawrinka was spot-on. You even had his facial expression perfect. Stan always looks like he's wondering if he left the oven on.

[@benjaminmonga8800]

Anyone who is a big fan of tennis can really appreciate how much work would've gone into this! Love it and the impersonations are SPOT ON! 😎

[@GodSpeed91]

The Murray’s chasing down drop shots grunt had me dying 🤣

[@GiDaOne]

Out of both parts that was the single funniest moment

[@bb8328]

I wish he'd included a racquet tap on the ground. The only thing missing from this video.

[@mrlego6196]

The exaggeration on Thiem’s backhand preparation and then the swing is fantastic 🤣🤣🤣 And you studied your countryman Tsitsi so well, even the looks at the racket in between the points are there 👌 And then even Stan’s shoulder movement and t-shirt pull after he wins the point 🎉🙌

[@georgipopov8973]

Even the strange kick out that Tsitsipas does when finishing the serve is there! Perfect!

[@akashbodhane317]

He does Murray better than Murray himself !

[@jordangarrido3069]

Hahah

[@al1976-v7m]

Yeah the moan of Murray before he has to get to a ball...

[@Weally-yx7tw]

🤣

[@barcaparasiempre75]

Rafa is left handed

[@philipphortnagl2486]

haha that's really spot on. even the face expression at Wawrinka is 100%

[@sravandanda2302]

And the slice return

[@daniellacerda1009]

wawrinkas slicee!! omg...it is identical

[@TheHenMen]

Exactly this

[@tedpancoast1272]

[@KhairulnizamBakeri]

This is crazy accurate, man. Down to the smallest mannerisms.

[@steliosgkontsaris]

🙏🙏🙏

[@derekanaya990]

I thought the title said Funny, not ABSOLUTELY PERFECT.

[@alexb495]

Something impressive that may go unnoticed is that he had the correct racquet (or a version of it) for all of them. Bravo, sir

[@steliosgkontsaris]

Tried :/ hahah

[@JohnDoe-ef3nv]

yet, he couldn't find a tennis court to film this video on🤣🤣🤣

ジョコビッチまじで似てるわ！ 今まで見たモノマネの中で1番ですいちばんです1️⃣

[@Smileater]

Most tennis fans say Djokovic doesn’t have nuances, but you, Stelios, expose them all together! Amazing: - his stance and how he gets ready for a return, - his quick yawning to relax face muscles, - the way he asks for a towel from a ballgirl/boy, - his facial expressions, - how much he lays on his right foot when hitting a backhand, - the little (almost unnoticeable) jumps , - how he keeps his racket perfectly in the middle when waiting for a serve, - his reaffirming face gesture when he knows hie got a nice point - how balanced he is when hitting a quick backhand (how he freezes for a millisecond on that movement) Very well done, from a Novak fan! Greetings from Peru!

[@steliosgkontsaris]

Thank you so much

[@trystandavies2469]

His grunts are pretty distinctive as well UH uuhhhhhh

[@Keepcalm-lovesports]

only thing missing is the uncontrollable diva movements or stumbles after hitting the ball when he misses sometimes, acting like there was a weird bounce or something

I've just realized that Kyrgios has low back pain

[@mihaihosu5210]

I never thought perfect impersonation was possible. I was proven wrong, this is genuinely mind blowing. The facial expressions, the walking, the postures, the grunts, you captured every single detail to perfection. And Wawrinka and Murray are beyond perfection. Not even they can impersonate themselves that good. Congrats, mate, amazing stuff!

[@jimspencer5746]

Totally agree... At moments I had to catch myself thinking they were the real deal

[@marianoraffaelli7783]

Impresionante! Nunca visto

[@tobiasgoldman]

Ah I love how he gets all the small things right. The straight back of Novak, Roger's careless gait, Wawrinka's swagger and hard backhands.

[@whatupbtch]

The people driving down the road next to them were like : « Who is this guy playing tennis without a ball? » 😂

[@artiom.airola]

Really good video but just wanna say that rafa is left-handed

This is easily the greatest impersonations ever

[@HerrJoehnke]

I come back to this video on a regular basis, just to enjoy the insane accuracy. It is down to the grunt (Thiem, LOL!). This is some unbelievable work.

[@ericlopez9107]

He has them all SPOT ON!!! Even their movements in between points, facial gestures and grunts!!!

[@TennisAloha]

This video is a masterpiece.

[@steliosgkontsaris]

Alohaaaa! Ohana

[@Keepcalm-lovesports]

Thiem is my favorite, the shot prep and knee bend while serving are so well done 👍

[@connormadden182]

All that’s missing from Novak’s serve is like 10-15 more ball bounces.

[@Summon256]

His signature gesture waving at ballboys to give him towel faster also comes to mind, when he is stressed...

[@fionahowroyd9809]

We’d all fall asleep

[@spoonfed1548]

Absolutely the most spot on impressions I have ever seen in tennis. You had me laughing all the way through because of how close to the grain you came. 10/10 perfect for everyone you imitated. What incredibly deep insight and dedication put into each quirk.

[@FakeAndTrolled]

The most accurate Murray impression I've seen, I thought he was about to grab his hamstring after losing the point lol.

[@dimitrism.1814]

I cried a little bit..

[@ND-ku4yo]

That Andy Murray Serve sound and trying to reach the drop shot sound is fckn classic

I know!! Hahha

[@TWFM8215]

This guy is amazing, he gets every player spot on, very impressive. Must watch them so much to get it so right. Well done.

[@27blanx]

This is truly outstanding. It takes a very observant person and talented player to distinguish these nuances. There’s something about Stan at 1:44 that is absolutely perfect and if I saw that alone, without any context, I would say it was him.

[@marikafasola8771]

yes, THAT hand and arm...stan's was amazing...his hands, walking, that backhand,everything

[@MR-pk2gm]

He left the best impersonation to the end. I just couldn’t shoot laughing when he did Thiem’s.

[@ToHaru-Chan]

Sooo true

[@jorgerios3108]

Until Kyrgios I was smiling. From Kyrgios had me on the floor laughing and with Thiem I almost pee myself lol loved the effort and perfection you put into all the players 💪 thank you ❤

[@ashwinthejus]

This was so good, the only things missing were Novak's 10-20 bounces and Del Potro's running forehand..

[@steliosgkontsaris]

And 17 grand slams

[@tobysrimani1047]

Yea, Novak’s 29 bounces would have been hilarious! Murray, awesome, Wawrinka, great backhand, Thief, that backhand, ouch, Nadal, could have switched hands, ..

[@wingchunmann]

Yes, but he made Rafa to a right Hander.. 😂 very funny! 😁😉

[@nicklennaerts4791]

Ridiculously good. Uncanny. Even the grunts haha! The faces! The way they hold their racquets. You even had Tsitsipas's eastern/semi-western right! You have a talent my friend.

[@DavidinMiami]

The subtleties are the difficult part, yet you capture so much. One example is the slight peacock-like gait of Wawrinka, almost like he's too conscious about how he is being perceived, like he wants to be alluring out on the court. Another is the way you make Tsitsipas pace forward and backward with his mouth agape. And the Kyrgios tweener just out of the blue for showmanship. Too good.

[@joelcohen3563]

especially how you mastered every single technique of the strokes and serves is impressive as hell!

[@SuperVic1979]

Wawrinka and Murray impersonations are award winning 😂

Those are not just impersonations. This video is also a master class for every tennis enthusiast, specially beginners. In tennis, it's all about footwork and if I were a tennis coach, first assignment before learning the basics would be: "watch the impersonations video on you tube then record yourself while simulating the guy on it". Most fun 1st tennis class ever. You're welcome Tennis coaches out there.

I have to say.... the impressions are spot on! The little nuances, such as Djokovic flipping his racquet while bouncing ball before serve and Wawrinka pointing to his head after point. Excellent!

[@grimson]

The between-points body language is so perfect. Stuff you barely notice from the actual platter until you see someone perfectly reproduce it.

[@knotwilg3596]

Hard to pick a favorite. Murray's moan for drop shot, Thiem's tiptoeing, Kyrgios posture, Delpo's sloth walk, ... even Tsitsipas who doesn't have any distinguishing feature is very recognizable. That's deep imitation! A Djoker applause for you.
