A few days before the start of the Shanghai Masters 1000the tennis players had the usual commitments with the local and foreign media and also the tournament’s social networks.
The main names of the contest, say Carlos Alcaraz, Daniil Medvedev, Jannik Sinner, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Holger Rune, Andrey Rublev, Taylor Fritz, Frances Tiafoe y Ben Sheltonstopped by the studios to supposedly send a message in Chinese for a promotional campaign for the contest.
Without knowing it, Their partner Grigor Dimitrov was playing a joke on them with phrases in Chinese that had a very different meaning than what they thought..
Alcaraz, for example, went to great lengths to say: “I want to be a goat“. Dimitrov, who days later would beat him on the track, couldn’t stop laughing. Tsitsipas had to start with a “I consider myself intelligent“.
In Fritz’s case he had to say in Chinese: “My girlfriend is more famous than me“. Embarrassing was what Rublev had to pronounce: “I love you Grigor“. The two will face each other tomorrow in one of the semifinals in Shanghai.
Rune was ridiculed for the fact that he likes to show off his legs. It was for this reason that the phrase chosen for him was: “The shorter the pants the better“. Medvedev ended the video: “You can see this on Tennis TV“.
It was Tiafoe’s turn to say: “I have more famous friends than you“. Shelton, known for his gesture calling on the phone when he achieves victories on the circuit, referred to it in the joke: “I love making calls“. It was Ruud’s turn to affirm: “All I want is to play golf“. The red-haired Sinner was trolled for his hair color: “Where is my carrot?“.
