The clip shows the mockumentary series ‘The Tour: A Reality Show’ which opens with Andy Murray saying,” “That’s what people don’t realize.”
Fraser McKnight, who in the video is said to be playing the role od Sir Andy Murray, adds, “It’s all just scripted – the players, the matches, it’s all just kind of made up… We usually get our storylines at the start of the year and we try to make everything look natural. Let’s face it, people are stupid, they’ll buy anything.”
Novak Djokovic, who is played by Bert Critchley according to the video, opened up on acting as a 24-time Grand Slam champion.
“Something that I’m really trying to evoke with this Novak character is not just the performance and the achievements, but a bit more of an essence, a bit more of a personality,” he said.
“I try to have people relate to him. I want to bring truth to Novak, what is he thinking? What is he feeling? What would motivate him, if he was a real person?” he added.
Apart from Murray and Djokovic, The Tour: A Reality Show | The BIGGEST Secret in Tennis also features cameos from Frances Tiafoe, Casper Ruud, Carlos Alcaraz, Stan Wawrinka, Gael Monfils, Dominic Thiem, Andrey Rublev, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Hubert Hurkacz, Craig Boynton, Grigor Dimitrov, Juncheng Shang and Holger Rune.
The video opens and ends with Djokovic ripping his shirt in the bathroom, in a scene inspired by hit American and British sitcom show – The Office.
