Mansour Bahrami used to be the ball boy in the Iranian national team. He started tennis using a frying pan He never plays for winning despite his amazing talent but he plays to enjoy and make people laugh He is an absolute legend.
@@MoChoudhury91 Better 🙏., Ask for, whole match *Upload!!., It's rare to see better 🎾📽️ due way, there's only minimal mobileUnit's, to cover all the Double's games. It makes this 🎾📹, a complete 'GeM 💎🍾!'
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.
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
@@TristanYAH 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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
What I love most about Mr. Bahrami is that he's having a LOT of fun playing tennis. It's fun watching a competitive match, but it's more fun watching a guy enjoy himself, smiling, and just having a helluva time! Really a special treat to watch him play.
