The Most Watched Tennis Video in 2021 Does Not Feature Serena Williams, Federer, Nadal or Djokovic

In tennis, the superstars Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, and Serena Williams have dominated the Tours over the past two decades. Between them, they’ve won an astonishing total of 83 singles Grand Slam titles. Their ability and popularity have taken the sport to greater heights. 

As the year comes to an end, we take a look at the most viewed tennis video for the year 2021. However, surprisingly, neither of the four superstars feature in the video. 

Federer, Nadal, Djokovic, and Serena Williams didn’t feature in this incredible video

Besides Federer, Nadal, Djokovic, and Williams, no tennis professionals from either the ATP or WTA are there in it, which sounds unusual. So who does feature in the video?   

In the short clip, there are 9 balloons placed on a wall in a squared manner. There are two freestyle athletes, one playing tennis and the other football.

They are trying to burst the balloons on each attempt and are playing tic-tac-toe with their tennis ball and football, respectively. In the end, it was the player playing football that won the contest. The clip, posted by CS99TV in May 2021, has gotten close to 144 million views on YouTube.

Both freestyle athletes showed incredible skill and accuracy in hitting the balloons; the tennis player even hit a tweener shot to burst the balloon in the center of the bottom row.  

The 2022 season will be one the watch out for 

Coming to tennis, Djokovic has been the player that has dominated the scenes in 2021. He won three Grand Slam titles this season and was one win away from winning the fourth and final Slam of the season.

On the contrary, Federer, Nadal, and Williams did not manage to create a significant impact; none of them won a Slam or even reached a Slam final. 

Well, now that the season is over, it will be interesting to see how things shape up in the upcoming season. Federer and Williams will be missing from the Australian Open 2022.

The situation for Djokovic and Nadal is tricky. The new few days will provide more clarity on the status of their participation in the first Grand Slam event of the season. We wish all players the best of luck.
