The best tennis players in the world are known competitors and their competitive spirit was put to the test once more, albeit with a smaller ball than usual.
Tennis players proud of themselves as one of the biggest competitors in the world of sports so their competitive spirit was put to the test. The twist however was that they were given a ball smaller than what they are used to. Partnering up with ATPTour.com some of the best players took part in the bounce ball challenge.
It's a challenge where you let a bouncing ball bounce and then you slide your hand underneath it as many times as you can. The more times you slide your hand from one side to another the better. Alexander Zverev, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Diego Schwartzman, Andery Rublev, Felix Auger-Aliassime and Jannik Sinner all took part in the challenge.
Schwartzman remarked before the start that he had confidence about doing well. Rublev on the other hand was skeptical saying he was going to do 'not good'. Some of the players had trouble grasping the concept of the challenge at first but ultimately got the hang of it after a few tries.
In the end it was Felix Auger-Aliassime as the worst with 9 slides. Jannik Sinner wasn't much better at 11, Alexander Zverev had 15. Stefanos Tsitsipas had a decent try with 25, Rublev was a bit better with 27 but Diego Schwartzman came out on top with 33.
It was a fun thing to do as the players all had smiled while doing it. Tsitsipas took it even farther joking that he felt his arm being sore and he might needing physio afterward. Check out the full challenge below:
