Tennis is one of the most beloved sports of all time because it is fun as well as accessible. So, a lot of people outside the professional tennis circuit play it. In the past, celebrities like Britney Spears have tried playing the sport. Now, we can add one more celebrity to this list. It is none other than British comedian Ricky Gervais. However, tennis is a sport that might look like a lot of fun, but one needs to put strength and energy into it. Hilariously, the ‘After Life’ star wasn’t exactly willing to fulfill this requirement of the sport.
So, even if Gervais had a great time hitting the court, he also realized how demanding the sport could be. Eventually, this took a toll on him, as he hilariously called out for medical help.

Not the first time Gervais is hitting the court
Ricky Gervais loves tennis as much as Britney Spears does. However, the comedian seems to be developing a love-hate relationship with the sport. Gervais has previously also indulged in playing the sport and seems like he has not improved his stamina a lot since then.
Sharing an equally hilarious picture with his exhausted and tired face, he stated back in 2020, “Just played tennis again. Mental.”
