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 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 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 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.
@@DemiAUS 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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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
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.
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.
Mansoor. Tennis genius, legend, comedian. Joy to watch him on court. Seen them all, many many times. Never gets tired, always leaves me in awe. Raw tennis talent.
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!
Apart from his trick shots and show, his movements and handling are absolutely perfect. He may lack a brutal topspin and some speed, but technically he's close to perfection. That's why he can manage all these trick skills.
I absolutely love these matches and what a showman he is. Sometimes tennis can be plain boring, but these matches, how can you not just love them and the players really giving it to the crowd, and i bet that a lot of the spectators enjoys these matches more than a regular game. The control and the moves he has at his age, impressive. Love the overhead smash from any angle.
In singles his top rank was 192. In the doubles, on the other hand, he reached no 31., as well as one GS final (FO, lost to Grabb/McEnroe), so pretty impressive there.
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
Absolutely unrepeatable! He was the reason why I ever was interested in Tennis. Such a genius who put entertainment before success in sports. An absolute star!

that running backwards overhead smash he hits off of lobs is genuinely phenomenal. That's not just a trick shot, that's a winning shot
Couldn't agree more
It’s a huge injustice to this video to not include replays of his shots!
I think there were a couple of replays, but to me , the only way watch this is full screen mode and setting playback speed to .75

Ahahhaha yes

So Netero from HxH?
@@widexawake_ and roshi, and yamamoto, and pretty much any old guy
Literally netero 🤣
Why is every comment about anime when this is a tennis video? So annoying
The irony is he didn't have a strong professional career. He grew stronger when he stopped caring.
It’s not just the talent, his smile is so contagious 😂😂😂😂
How can someone dislike this, this is tennis at his purest form, i've never seen something like that !
Dear Leto - the person who are disliking this beautiful content is they are really very poor by mind in sports to understand tennis
Some people just cannot appreciate the unconventional
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.
Because it shows up on our newsfeed and we have no interest in tennis and never searched anything like this
he’s a little much sometimes. its not the shots themselves
Mansour's actual trick is a life trick: he's truly enjoying this outside and beyond the competition.
Underrated comment!!!

The fact is no one is joking about his talents. He has got some grand style to his play.

Give this man an immortality pill. May his character, charisma, and love for the sport live forever. He is a gem. The definition of fun.
