The first Grand Slam of 2021 is just around the corner and nothing gets more exciting than this. However, on the sidelines, mimicry artist Elliot Loney is making headlines with his recent-most impersonations video. It includes him imitating Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Jim Courier, Bernard Tomic, and Nick Kyrgios, and has got everyone holding their belly.
The reactions to the video poured in soon after with Kyrgios mocking World No. 1 Djokovic’s impersonation. Earlier, the Serbian had sent a list of requests to Tennis Australia to better the conditions players are in during the quarantine. Even though the requests were not for himself but rather his fellow players in Melbourne Park, Novak received heavy criticism.
In the video, Elliot has made a hilarious version of the Serbian’s list of requests. Additionally, the video has now got the attention of the 18-time Grand Slam champion Chris Evert.
