According to the ATP, ‘Bert Critchley’ is not just any character, but a “well-paid” actor. Be it his impressive record of 24 Grand Slam victories and 40 ATP Masters 1000 titles, the video humorously suggested that fans have been misled about everything they thought about Djokovic.

Andy Murray adds up to the ATP’s joke

While it was already head-spinning for the fans to see the connection between Novak Djokovic and Bert Critchley, the ATP didn’t just decide to keep it low. They also added Andy Murray in the scene, depicting his role being played by an actor named Fraser McKnight.

“I think that’s what people don’t realise. The players, the matches, it’s all scripted,” says Andy Murray, as his part of the hilarious joke in the “ATP Tour: A Reality Show” begins. As the authority continuously works on adding more and more entities to the scene, the joke continued to grow deeper, engaging a wider audience than ever.
