I would say: god bless every single muscle of him, he has the reaction of 20 year old man, the experience of a 70 year old man, and a heart of 1000 year old legend, he'll always be (the unforgettable legend of tennis of all times)!
It’s great to see how even his opponents are having so much fun even as they lose the points. Really reminds us that tennis is a game and is supposed to be fun.
Even back in the day when he used to play he didn’t have a particularly successful playing career but he had the flair and showmanship. That’s why he’s so popular because he’s so entertaining to watch
I was lucky enough to see Bahrami, Leconte, Amritraj and Fitzgerald at Wimbledon back in 2009 with my son. We had just finished watching the Williams sisters on Centre Court, and we thought there was no more play and it was time for home. Imagine my pleasure and excitement, to find these four fabulous players on one of the outside courts. I explained to my son that these were the geniuses I’d grown up watching. We enjoyed every single second of it (more than the William’s sisters actually). It was an absolutely wonderful match that we’ll never forget 😊.
I don't even follow tennis but just watching him play and truly immersing himself in the game just for the sake of playing! The affection he has for the sport is so pure. Brought tears in my eyes.
@@DemiAUS nah, he was a pretty modest singles player but he was a good doubles player. He won a few tournaments and reached the French Open Doubles Final but unfortunately lost.
I think he's doing a great job attracting people for tennis again with his personality and passion and also with his traps and jokes. Also great sportsmanship from the opponents to go along with this funny guy. Love it
It is not tennis in a pure form though. They are not trying to kill the rallies, just setting each other up for entertainment and trick shots. So it is like wrestling, not a proper contest, just sporting entertainment.
Legend. I couldn't believe it when I saw this dude when I was so young and he's still amazing. A real credit to the world of tennis, made me have fun with the game.
Not only he has style and show such contagious happiness on the court, but also I am sure some of his trick shot could be winners at top level tennis nowadays. Amazing character.
I remember when said he could serve 120mph, then 130mph, then 150mph. Every time the speed board showed us it was true, until he served one at about 60mph, and the board still showed 150! Great laugh.
I honestly think if be played competitive doubles, even now in his 60's, he could win a match if he had the right partner. Crazy net skills, decent serve, mad reactions!
He looks like a fun guy to hang out with... That one guy in the group who doesn't care about occasion and has the audacity to goof around in Wimbledon... I like him.
@@Dilserandom In America, the "clown prince" is a term of respect given to great comedians. There was a famous clown prince of baseball, for instance, named Emmet Kelly...several other players were later given the same title. I have nothing but respect for both the tennis skills and the clowning skills of this wonderful player, whose personal story is even more remarkable than his tennis and performing skills.
He is a true athletic creative genius. Well past his prime now of course, but he actually played just like this (possibly even more outrageously than this) in the late 70's in Iran and then in the early 80's in France on the pro tour. He was the Pete Maravich (basketball) of tennis!
Je ne suis pas trop tennis. Mais avec un homme comme ça, tu regardes le match jusqu'à la fin! Il est drôle et il est bon! Y'a le divertissement et la qualité! Et il a de sacré reflexe. Merci monsieur.
I was fortunate enough to be a ball boy at a Bahrami doubles match at a Nuveen Masters event in 97 or 98, at the 4 seasons in Las Colinas, Texas. Wonderfully nice person who had the patience to help me dig for a ball that had gotten stuck in an on-court decorative plant. Still remember the behind the head overhead that was thunderous and how he outplayed other men who I had heard of. Eye opening to see his talent and masterful presence on the court. The crowd loved it. The next day John McEnroe threw a fit plying Jimi Connors in the singles final. Nothing like a McEnroe tantrum could put into better relief the class and charm of a man like Bahrami. What I also took away from that blow up was how palpably angry and uncomfortable a McEnroe tantrum can make the crowd feel. It’s unforgettable. I was disappointed, pissed, and genuinely uneasy, sitting in the stands.
I absolutely love these matches and what a showman he is. Sometimes tennis can be plain boring, but these matches, how can you not just love them and the players really giving it to the crowd, and i bet that a lot of the spectators enjoys these matches more than a regular game. The control and the moves he has at his age, impressive. Love the overhead smash from any angle.
Mansour has a unique style + character. He doesn’t just play tennis, he totally understands the concept of live, doing fun at first place and then playing with enjoyment. دورودها به این مرد
6:05 the series of shots around this time was insane...2 impossible shots at with sooo little time to react, one behind him & one between the legs. Love Bahrami. really surprised more top players don't use the shots in his reportoire. we see the odd 'tweener from the top players but rarely any others. i love that one when he feigns the smash, to then quickly change to a soft one over the net. clever and effective.
He's just... He's just having so much fun. I wish every sportsman was like him.
to much ego in this Sport .

that running backwards overhead smash he hits off of lobs is genuinely phenomenal. That's not just a trick shot, that's a winning shot
Couldn't agree more
I like tennis but I've never had so much fun watching it before.
Same bro like fr
I don't know much about tennis, but he is entertaining.
Yeah
Its because the guy himself just simply does it for fun, he doesnt take it serious and its marvelous.
true
If tennis was an anime he would be the super powerful side character that takes nothing seriously.
I feel like He would probably be the old but insanely strong sensei
He will like kojo in Jujutsu kaisan
Or like jiraiya in Naruto
Oh like uraraha from bleach
That one old buff guy that tries to hide his true strength
Prince of Tennis be like 'im out ig'
Everybody's talking about his skill...
I'm just stunned at his endurance... At that age, he can run back and forth like a 20yr old guy.
A fit 20yo guy to be precise

Every moment with Bahrami brings a smile to face🙂
It’s a huge injustice to this video to not include replays of his shots!
I think there were a couple of replays, but to me , the only way watch this is full screen mode and setting playback speed to .75

2:05 was the cleanest shot I have ever seen
Ahahhaha yes
2:17
Yes😂
Of course
Replay was needed by me to see actually how the shot went
Mansour Bahrami and Goran Ivanisevic; doubles partners for the simple love of the game and entertaining. Wonderful ten minutes of tennis perfection!
He might not have won a single grand slam but he'll be remembered in the tennis community.
It's not about winning the titles, it's about winning the hearts.❤️❤️
True
So true
RCB agrees
Jokes aside, there´s a tremendous load of talent in most of those strokes.
The fact is no one is joking about his talents. He has got some grand style to his play.

Absolutely 👏
What a thoughtful comment. Bravo
How can someone dislike this, this is tennis at his purest form, i've never seen something like that !
Dear Leto - the person who are disliking this beautiful content is they are really very poor by mind in sports to understand tennis
Some people just cannot appreciate the unconventional
It is not tennis in a pure form though. They are not trying to kill the rallies, just setting each other up for entertainment and trick shots. So it is like wrestling, not a proper contest, just sporting entertainment.
Because it shows up on our newsfeed and we have no interest in tennis and never searched anything like this
he’s a little much sometimes. its not the shots themselves
I never thought I'd have fun watching tennis. This man is making me approach this sport more and more every day
greatest entertainer of all the sports combined. he enjoys the game more than victory
Mansour's actual trick is a life trick: he's truly enjoying this outside and beyond the competition.
Underrated comment!!!

the best crowd pleaser ever in the history of the game, such a talent..
This 8 minutes has been the most I’ve ever voluntarily watched tennis
He isn’t just a professional tennis player, but a professional entertainer too.
The man, the myth, the legend
The way he warmly mocks his opponents is so humble
Give this man an immortality pill. May his character, charisma, and love for the sport live forever. He is a gem. The definition of fun.

He called himself a "court jester". But anyone can tell he truly loves this sport and plays it with heart and soul.

Good point! . I guess all those years of playing tennis really does help with your motor skills and coordination.
