Top 25 Funniest Tennis Commercials of All Time

Tennis is a sport intended for spectators' entertainment. Throughout the years the sport has evolved, and new stars continue to be born all the time.

Along with these changing times and interesting careers comes the most important aspect in all sports: advertising.

The top celebrities and athletes in the game of tennis have signed lucrative contracts with companies that they would go on to represent throughout their time in the sport.

Because of this. players have undergone many commercial campaigns and put their faces on "products" or simple ads.

We always enjoy a good laugh, which does not always occur when watching seriously competitive matches, so here are the top 25 most hilarious commercials ever, featuring tennis players.

Honorable Mention: Staying Alive

The three most iconic figures in baseball, golf and tennis showed that they and their respective sports were "staying alive."

Their shoes and Roger Federer's gesture at the end cracks me up every time.

Honorable Mention: Agassi Pulls off Other Tricks

This commercial is just blatantly bizarre, but it ends in a comical fashion.

Andre Agassi sure was useful to ad agencies.

Honorable Mention: If Only Women's Tennis Was Like This

This clearly targets a male audience but, then again, they are the larger percentage group of sports-watchers.

25. Stuart Scott Pranks the Maestro

Roger Federer seems to be more upset with Scott's actions here than when he loses in a major.

24. Stuart Scott Pranks Maria Sharapova

Him asking for the can back at the end was certainly a smart play—he could then prepare the prank for somebody else...

23. Agassi the Rock Star

Andre partied like the iconic rock star he was in this commercial.

22. Cleaning Up

Agassi proved that watching after kids can be just as arduous as playing tennis.

21. Changing of the Guard

Roger turned down the mug for the thought of earning a trophy instead.

20. A Bigger Plane Is Still Needed

Just imagine if this type of video clip was created every time Roger won a new tournament.

The commercial inventory is supposed to be limited and perishable!

19. Rog Tells It Like It Is

He gave the man his current ranking, alright.

18. Dirty Intentions

This commercial not only makes fun of the excessive grunts that some female players produce, but it promotes the attractive undertones in the sport presented by the ladies themselves.

It also has intentions to promote something sensual.

17. Aggressive Message on Aggression

Although Serena is occasionally guilty of violating her own advice here, it makes for a slightly laughable psychoanalytic perspective.

16. Fed Receives Some Unwanted Advice

It appears that tennis is not the only thing that Roger plays.

15. Don't Make Roddick Mad

This ad was very popular at the time.

Cliff Drysdale can also be heard "commentating" on this event, and it makes the situation seem that much more realistic.

This clip still leaves the question unanswered, though: How would the point play out following this hypothetical scenario?

14. Roddick Finds a Way to Win

Pong would certainly be a formidable opponent, although it is probably unable to serve.

13. Advice for All Tennis Players

Truer words have never been spoken. It is probably quite difficult to run around backhands in an office setting like this anyway.

12. The Correct Way to Use a Towel

Many athletes do this, although they usually do not personally pick out which towel covers their head better than others.

11. Roger Doesn't Make His Opponents Feel Good, Either

I think the clipboard suits Roger's game as a psychologist rather nicely.

10. Rafael Nadal Expresses His Frustration

Not only did Rafa have to drive the van, but he had to deal with Johnny Mac's unpredictable behavior in the backseat.

9. All out of Sorts

This advertisement was just ridiculous on so many levels that its chaos amused audiences and caused them to laugh uncontrollably.

Stay tuned for the concluding line as well.

8. What Every Tennis Instructor Tells the Parents

This is not an unusual scene—tennis pros want to make money, too!

7. A Sacrilegious Approach to Advertising...

...It is very funny, though!

6. Roddick Makes Us Laugh Again

Although he did not win Wimbledon like he implied he would here, he won himself a new batch of fans with this commercial.

5. Genes Run in the Family

Taylor Dent, as well as Andre Agassi's son, received great skills and talent from their respective parents.

It is just a shame that it did not translate as well in the case of Taylor (and this commercial is indicative of that).

4. Taking Candy from a...Celebrity

I sure do love Lindt Lindor Truffles, but I do not think I would go to the extremes that these ladies went to.

This commercial was the first one that Federer did that involved a somewhat steamy relationship between himself and girls (although they might have enjoyed the chocolate more...who knows?).

3. The Let Rule That We All Hate

This commercial is especially hilarious for tennis players, as it relates to each and every one of them.

2. Novak Djokovic Puts on a Show as Usual

Perhaps he truly is just as quick as the ad suggests and there is no over-exaggeration at all.

1. Roger Plays Tennis in His Own "House"

This was neither his coach nor did it take place in his actual house, but the end result sure was comical.

This ad just goes to show how successful and compatible Roger Federer and Nike are together.
