From headband to vintage rackets: Medvedev's hilarious transformation into McEnroe
ATPSunday, 07 July 2024 at 06:00
Former
world No. 1 Daniil Medvedev participated in a fun video where he is dressed as
John McEnroe in his prime, playing with the 7-time Grand Slam champion. The
2021 US Open champion shared a promotional video in which both recreated
McEnroe's iconic 80s look, complete with a red headband and his memorable
haircut.
The
Russian reached the fourth round at Wimbledon on Saturday after defeating
Jan-Lennard Struff in four sets, setting up an 11th-time clash with Grigor
Dimitrov. So far, Medvedev leads their head-to-head 7-3, though their only
grass-court match was won by the Bulgarian back at the 2017 Queen’s Club
Championships.
Medvedev
has been known throughout his career for not hiding his strong character when
matches get tough. But off the court, he has also shown his sense of humour
many times, as seen in the promotional video for Pepperstone that he starred in
with McEnroe.
The
28-year-old Russian appears on a grass court doing volleys at the net,
seemingly in a typical training session, until McEnroe hilariously shows up in
his 80s match attire and a wig mimicking his famous hair from his professional
years.
“Daniil, you’re doing it all wrong,” McEnroe says.
“I’m
one of the best in the world,” Medvedev responds.
“Exactly,
one of… but I've got an idea to make you No. 1,” says McEnroe.
Immediately,
Daniil Medvedev is seen in the same outfit as Johnny Mac, including the wig, a
white outfit with blue details, and the red headband, along with a racket
replicating the old ones used in the 80s.
Here
you can find the fun video featuring both world No. 1s.
