Have you ever imitated other tennis players for fun?

Question

my 2 friends and i are usually the jokers on our team and when we play at the courts by ourselves we usually joke around and imitate people we dont like on the team and other pros. have you guys ever did this for fun?

Answer 1

nope

Answer 2

I did that a lot in basketball, it was a lot of fun.

Best time we completely freaked the other team out when me and my friend set up a dunk ally-oop. Best destruction of other teams spirit ever LOL

Answer 3

Chan, Yes!!!  But it really wasn't an imitation being I had traits of 3 when I played.  A Johan Kriek forehand, Bjorn Borg backhand and Jimmy Connors serve.

Answer 4

At times I find myself thinking and acting like a player when on court. Oddly enough I had people tell me I remind them of Chris Evert, and I am a guy lol.  Though I love her, not sure how to take it lol. Though as I play, I do think of Serena and Nadal alot and picture them as I am in the middle of a point, and try to do as they would. Though I am a righty, I do hit an inside out forehand that I think of Nadal hitting as a lefty. When I win a match, I find myself skipping around waving, like Serena does lmao. All in good fun, but hey it works.

I do imitate, purposely, and not during a match, the likes of Sharapovas ridiculous service routine. I mean she pretends to wipe hair that isnt there away  all the time lol. Sometimes I pick my shorts like Nadal. Other times I perfect my socks like Rusedski. Other times I grunt like Monica against my coach and he breaks out laughing. All in fun, but I suppose we each have our own little thing we are unaware of, or is it we are aware. Hmmmm
