Comedian
Jon-Bernard Kairouz asked some Wimbledon attendees about fake tennis players in
a hilariously video:
The 2023
Wimbledon tournament has experienced inconveniences due to rain delays that
have disrupted the progress of matches in the first three rounds. However,
attendees have been making the most of the downtime at the All England Club,
and comedian Jon-Bernard Kairouz took the opportunity to ask them some
questions.
Known for
his videos on social media, where he interviews fans at sporting events, this
time he decided to mock them by asking about fake tennis players, mentioning
names of celebrities for comedic effect.
“The young
Spaniard Selena Gomez, do you think she can go all the way this Wimbledon?,” he
asked a fan in the stands.
“I would
hope so, Spain produces such wonderful tennis players,” the Wimbledon attendee
responded.
“Dua Lipa,
the young super star. Do you think she can go on and win Wimbledon?
“Look, I think
she can and with her being local, she’s going to have a lot of people rooting
for her,” someone said.
Another
"tennis player" that a fan considered could do well on the grass of
London is the celebrity Caitlyn Jenner, famous for the show "Keeping Up
with the Kardashians."
“She might
need to transition into more of an attacking style in the next round, do you
thnk she can go on and win Wimbledon?” Karouz asked.
“Al things
considered, she is a good player, I think she can, if she… as you say, If she picks
up on that attacking style I thin she’s got every chance,” some fan said.
With the
schedule nearly back on track after the organizational efforts following the
rain delays, the round of 16 will begin on Sunday in both the men's and women's
singles draws with the first four matches of each main draw. On Monday, the
remaining half of the players in the round of 16 will have their fourth-round
matches.
