Tennis players on the ATP Tour serve up hilarious viral content at the 2025 National Bank Open in Toronto.<\/p>\n
Throughout the tennis season, tennis players on both the ATP & WTA tours deliver hilarious viral content via social media.<\/p>\n
Despite a grueling season that nearly spans the entirety of the year, players continue to serve up gold both on and off the court. This week, at the National Bank Open in Toronto, some of the stars of the ATP tour participated in several pieces of lighthearted social media content for Tennis Channel and Tennis Canada.<\/p>\n
In one video, players like Daniil Medvedev<\/a>, Ben Shelton<\/a>, Frances Tiafoe, Lorenzo Musetti<\/a>, Alex de Minaur, and plenty of others shared their thoughts on Hawaiian Pizza, which, as it turns out, was actually created by a Canadian.<\/p>\n While some players like Musetti and Andrey Rublev were left disgusted, others like Taylor Fritz were indifferent, while Medvedev and Tiafoe revealed they\u2019re actually fans.<\/p>\n That, of course, wasn\u2019t the only viral content the tournament served up off-court this week.<\/p>\n In addition, Rublev, Alexander Zverev, Stefanos Tsitsipas<\/a>, and several other tennis players tried their hand at spray painting alongside local Toronto-based artist Emily May Rose.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Flavio Cobolli Wins Trickshot Competition, Beating Out Other Notable Tennis Players<\/p>\n In addition to the on-court ATP action taking place in Toronto, a number of notable tennis players like Shelton, Tiafoe, Holger Rune, Flavio Cobolli, Tommy Paul, and plenty of others all participated in a trickshot contest.<\/p>\n While a number of different players participated, Cobolli and longtime ATP Tour veteran Gael Monfils landed in the finals after fans voted for their two favorite trick shots on Instagram.<\/p>\n Eventually, Cobolli was named the winner, earning him admin privileges on the ATP Tour social media accounts.<\/p>\n Of course, at the same time, Cobolli is still competing in Toronto in hopes of securing his third career title, and second of the year, after winning the Hamburg Open in May.<\/p>\n From the sounds of things, however, Cobolli may not have admin privileges for long because the ATP Tour is already teasing another challenge on social media, as seen below.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n ATP Players Vote on Whether Water is Wet<\/p>\n Another piece of hilarious viral content created at the National Bank Open this week saw a wide range of ATP players weigh in on whether water itself is wet.<\/p>\n While local favorite Gabriel Diallo, who is set to play Taylor Fritz<\/a> tonight, was adamant that water isn\u2019t wet, and anyone who disagrees didn\u2019t go to university, plenty of other players disagreed.<\/p>\n When the votes were all tallied, the \u201cwater is wet\u201d crew edged out a narrow win over the \u201cwater isn\u2019t wet\u201d crew 5-4.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n As Diallo indicated, however, the general consensus among scientists is that water itself isn\u2019t wet. Instead, wetness is considered a quality, or rather, a state of being, meaning that water, despite not being inherently wet itself, can make other things wet.<\/p>\n As we head into the second week of action in Toronto, expect more and more hilarious content from the ATP Tour page as we prepare to make the jump to New York for the US Open.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \n\t\t\tEvan Bell<\/a> Evan Bell is a sports journalist covering MMA for Heavy.com.
