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.
He also
mentioned British singer Dua Lipa:
“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.

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.
mandoist05-11-2026 - Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026
