It was a fast service from the German and Jimmy had to get out of the way before it could hit him. He was giggling hysterically as he evidently thought that the serve was fast enough to metaphorically ‘kill’ him.
Alexander Zverev also posted a story in appreciation of his friend coming to see him at practice. However, he had his own hilarious way of calling fans to his game.
Alex captioned, “If you wanna see @jimmybutler on a tennis court. Make sure to come to one of my matches. His a** is getting forced to come hit infront of all of you.”
He shared a reel in which Jimmy was talking about being at Alex’s practice. He jokingly said that he would not want to mess with Alex while he was warming up.
