Mansour Bahrami is the senior showman of the four here, and he has a rather interesting backstory. As a child in Iran, Mansour Bahrami taught himself to play tennis using an old metal frying pan and other kitchen utensils and did not own his first tennis racquet until he was a 13. Most professional tennis players start much earlier, as in the moment they’re able to hold a racquet, usually 5-7 years old. Due to the forced break in his tennis play from the Islamic revolution fallout(lost FIVE YEARS of his prime), his potential in singles was never fully realized. He became a successful doubles player, winning two tournaments and reaching the 1989 French Open doubles final. Bahrami has been a mainstay of the seniors invitational tennis circuit for more than 25 years. Bahrami is considered to have "found his niche" on the ATP Champions Tour, where his flamboyant, humorous style and propensity for trick shots make him a crowd favorite in the tour's more entertainment-oriented sphere. In reference to his showmanship, his 2009 English-language autobiography was titled The Court Jester. His comic turns on the court often include faking serves, slow-motion miming, hitting balls backwards between his legs, over his shoulder or from the back, and playing while lying down or seated. It’s well worth your time and money to venture out and see him if he’s ever playing in your neck of the woods.
I may be wrong, but this might just be an exhibition match. I saw one with Andy Roddick and Agassi when i was a kid. I remember them just constantly joking around the whole time
The game of tennis shows what a true champion can be. You’re all alone out there and everything depends on you. Are you good enough to stand the test? Your mental ability will show that’s why tennis is such an incredible game to watch.
Don't know if we should be telling people how they're allowed to enjoy things, but I certainly would be more tempted to buy a ticket to this show than a proper tennis match.
The greatest tennis player to have ever lived and with a very short pro career who decided it would be best to entertain rather than to take it too serious.
Yeah, but he was also kinda hampered in his development by a nationalist regime, who wouldn't let him go travel and play at foreign events just around the peak of his youth.
That old guy is my favorite tennis player of all time. Hands down, one of the greatest and most talented entertainers the sport has ever seen. Holding the net at the end had me 😆 😂 rolling.
I’m assuming you’re joking, but it’s definitely illegal in actual tennis. No part of you or your racket may touch the net. Unless you just playing with friends then the rules favor the victor lol

Exactly. The sad part is 90% of the people watching this video and gloating about how mansour is "schooling" his opponents don't even realize the other guy isn't even trying, literally. He's just serving back high arc balls to let mansour show off. Like playing with a child.
MB crippled with arthritis but man has a persona which makes him a cold favorite. He must have done these tricks hundreds of time but people still enjoy his stunts. The loud applause is testimony to his persona..
I have been a tennis fan for decades and while singkes were at the semi final stage at wimbledon i atill switched it over to see bahrami he is not only funny and hilarious but dome of the shots he makes is amazing ,and he is so popular that even this year the players for the next match at wimbledon were already on court but bahrami was stoll signing sutographs and posing for selfies
Do you know what that looks like some fun times some laughter and for the old timers to show them young bucks what’s really up and why these two old veterans are not only hilarious but they have some sick ass skills
It's always fun seeing people who don't know Mansour Bahrami. This man's peak ranking was 192 in the world. He is such an entertainer though that he is loved by the fans. Also, shows just how talented these top 100 players are that Mansour never cracked it.
@@zanussidish5685 The easy way to figure that out is to ask Cash or Ivanesovic. They would know and l recall hearing players from his era mention he was pretty good and probably could have played on tour. The Iranian government made sure we never really found out.

@@zanussidish5685 Football and tennis are completely different sports. So much of football is situational awareness and vision on the field, integrating into a team is vital. Tennis is much more individual and solo shot making skills are more important.

The greatest tennis player to have ever lived and with a very short pro career who decided it would be best to entertain rather than to take it too serious.
Had weak ground strokes and was slow. Did pretty well in doubles at pro level.

There should be this kind of entertainment at every tournament as part of the experience. Give the retired players continued recognition and fun.
There usually is, at the opens at least.
This old man is Mansour Bahrami an Iranian /french talented tennis player
Old man knows how to truly love and enjoy the sport he plays. Also looks like he's having the time of his life
It's always like that in charity or just for fun meetings. When they simply play for say "golden pants"...
He is a legend. Truly one of a kind.
I like the net pull. Will do this next time I play doubles 😂
Type in the search Mansour bahrami & see all the funny thing's his done over the year's before retiring
