“That’s what individuals don’t notice,” says Fraser McKnight, the person who “allegedly” performs Sir Andy Murray. “It’s all simply scripted – the gamers, the matches, it’s all simply form of made up… We normally get our storylines firstly of the 12 months and we attempt to make all the things look pure. Let’s face it, individuals are silly, they’ll purchase something.”
Bert Critchley, the person who performs Novak Djokovic, talks concerning the problem of making an attempt to painting a 24-time Grand Slam champion that’s always within the public eye.
“One thing that I’m actually making an attempt to evoke with this Novak character is not only the efficiency and the achievements, however a bit extra of an essence, a bit extra of a character,” he says. “I attempt to have individuals relate to him. I wish to convey reality to Novak, what’s he considering? What’s he feeling? What would encourage him, if he was an actual individual?”
The ATP explains the brand new – hilarious – reveal as such:
“For those who thought Novak Djokovic’s tennis profession was too good to be true, it seems you have been proper. It’s all staged. None of it’s actual! He’s only a (very well-paid) actor in ‘The Tour: A Actuality Present’. The ATP Tour has revealed at present that the worldwide tennis circuit is one huge TV present.”
Apparently the joke’s been on us for fairly a while. Not less than it has been a wild trip!
