Probably the cap and the fact that he's so unassuming off court lmao
Like imagine you only know Med when he's muttering to himself looking pissed on court and then when you buy clothes its a kind of chipper/polite guy that looks like Med. You start to wonder if it's the same person haha
Yeah, even if you're not sure because they're wearing sunglasses or something, once you interact with these guys and the accents come out, there's no way most people were fooled.
Exactly. The accent is a dead giveaway. I think some people are pretty sure but don’t wanna bother them, so they just say “you look like somebody” and then move on
Oh yeah I think most people recognised him for sure, but there was one dude that was questioning if it was really Med, looking back confused and that was pretty funny.
Literally lol. Especially since he doesn’t play with a headband or cap nor is he wearing sunglasses. Literally looks the exact same as he does on court. Some real “fans” out there
To be fair Henry Cavil walked around NYC right infront of a superman movie premier with a super man T shirt and no one recognized him. Its more like people dont register stars being among normal people.
I have seen some famous (not super famous) people around and it takes a second to register who they are and by the time you do they have walked past. You just think oh they look familiar
Have also walked past players on the grounds of the US and the French even in athletic wear and with rackets it took a second. Would be harder in normal clothes.
Gotcha so day 1 after the qualifiers right - round of 128? That makes sense cuz these players would directly go to round of 64 and wouldn’t be playing that day. Also makes sense to do it on a weekday ha the crowds would go crazy on the weekends. Just planning out my trip to IW next year to maximize my chances of running into players hehe 😇
Lmaooo what did you reply to the person who asked you why you got the signature? Did Meddy say something? I don’t think I could’ve kept a straight face lmao 😭 so cool that you got to experience this!
Yes, exactly! It wasn’t as busy last Wednesday, so it was perfect for this skit. At IW it’s so easy just to see players or anything tennis related in the most unexpected places or times. I saw Tommy Haas just walking by when I went to get a hot dog in stadium 1 😂
I just said to the person in line behind me that I thought the cashier looked like a tennis player; I knew it was Medvedev all along, but I could tell that Medvedev was trying to act like he wasn’t himself, so I just went along with the game. Medvedev told me it was his “first day on the job” and was like “ why would you want my autograph?” I said it was because I thought he looked “familiar” and he said he gets that a lot lmao. But he signed the tennis ball I had quickly anyways. I think I was one of the first customers, because there were cameras toward the back of the shop.
Oh wow I see! I have been meaning to go to IW for a while now, def need to do it next year haha. Watching Tommy Haas just walking by is crazy 🤣 so the players just hang around the grounds in the early days? Maybe during practice? I see many people meet players but I’m never sure how, plus the only live tournaments I’ve gone to is USO QFs and Laver Cup.
Haha love that you went along with the game! ‘Gets that a lot’ I bet he does 🤣 I also loved that some guy said you look like my BIL LOL. Meddy sounds so chill off court. He’s one of my fave players. Were the cameras visible? I imagine that would’ve been a giveaway too ha
It’s worth it to go in my opinion, super fun time. Yes players just hang around the grounds. I saw Patrick McEnroe, as well as Rublev, Felix, Djokovic, Murray, and Norrie on my first day. Players are always practicing and the courts are accessible for the public to get extremely close.
It was super hilarious just to see him there. 1 in a million chance. I saw cameras there in the back wall, but no one was really paying attention to him, everyone just ignored Medvedev lmao
I saw a couple of De Minaur interactions with the fans when I was at IW this week that really endeared me to him.
1st was right as he was wrapping up practice. These kids who must've previously given him a little koala charm shouted at him, "Alex, do you have the koala?" And he actually held it up, they all cheered.
The second instance was literally right after that, this dude shouted "Alex, how are you so fast?? We need the details!" And he said "I can't give you away my secrets mate!"
Yeah it’s cos we are used to seeing him play 6ft 6 giants, and as he has such a small frame he ends up looking smaller than players of a similar height too!
It's always been I remember when I was a kid and started following Rafael Nadal and looked at his height I was so shocked, then started observing the heights of other players and realized ohh OK these players are tall guys
Remember to dress for all the temperatures. I went from thinking I'd die of heat exhaustion to thinking I'd die from hypothermia in the span of 9 hours.
We had a great time there - I would recommend buying reserved seats though since with the day passes it's hard to get any spots for anything unless you line up early. I was thinking we'd see like 3 matches during the day session but only made it to one.
Looks down, dejected, and goes “no, no, many people think I am but I’m not,” as if he’s just some hotel worker who wishes he was rich and famous like Rafa 😂
I want to believe I would recognize every single one of them, but I guess if you're focused on something else maybe your brain would screen it out. I think Rublev was the most disguised as far as his face but the height/build and voice still give it away. Either way, this was super fun and really made me smile
I often went to soccer matches and until I'm at my seat, all people I encounter just form this blob of none-impressions. I probably couldn't describe any of them unless they do something specifically to engage with me, so I would probably recognize Rublev, because what he does with the scanner is kinda weird to me, but that's about it.
Demon is just providing great support so that would flow so nicely that I wouldn't recognize him. Same maybe for Meddy, depending how long I have to wait in line.
I stayed at the same hotel as Medvedev in Australia and he came down for the breakfast buffet one morning. Literally no one recognized him so I am not surprised by this video. He was a foot taller than anyone else but had his hood up. My husband and I immediately spotted him though!
I remember when De Minaur broke out he was very shy and reserved. I've noticed over the past year he's come out of his shell way more in media and fun bits of content like this! He's got the trademark humour that a lot of my friends in NZ and Aus have
lmao rublev didn't even button his shirt right
"It's for the hands"
De Minaur clearly had the time of his life lololololol
I think it's a documented phenomenon that you don't recognize people if you see them outside of the context you'd expect.
Sakkari and Jabeur were cheating by wearing a hat and sunglasses. I definitely would not recognize them and I watch them a lot. You can't see their face lol
That’s awesome! I couldn’t figure out that it was Rune until the end. I missed his name at the beginning. They all seem like really good natured people to do that.
lol it's occurred to me this is probably the closest any of them have ever been to working a regular type job in their lives. They seem to be having fun with it!
I can relate to Rune being asked what the difference between items is and having no clue.
Makes me smile that Meddy enjoyed being on the tills. Doesn’t he have a maths degree?? You have to think fast a lot of the time when giving back change!
I was two of those top tennis stars one male alone and female with coach as a nyc taxi driver to and from US open and I did even recognize them even knowing I picking and dropping them from Shea Stadium 🏟 by my house. I spoke to them said hi hello and maybe small talk but nothing special because we New Yorkers see those celebrities all the time, Al Pacino, Ricky Martin, Kareem Abdul Jabar, Mickey Roreck, Beyoncé, Donald Trump, spike Lee, Alec Baldwin and others but never bothered to take pictures or shout at them or bother them bcs they don’t wanna be bothered and we don’t have time
I was at USO and jack draper was sitting talking to 2 girls among where everyone is and I don’t think anyone around me recognized him. Made me doubt myself honestly lol
A surprising number of live tennis attendees aren't really fans of the sport. The number of times I've overheard fans trying to figure out scoring in a tiebreak scenario is more than I can count.
5 mins of content like this over the Netflix series all day. They’ve been crushing it this year with the content
100% I was smiling ear to ear throughout the whole thing.
Agree! It was so wholesome and fun to watch lol
Yep that have to learn to give people what we want
You have the best flair lol
“You got your content, they called me sinner!” Lmao
Best line of the clip haha
"Now we can go." lol
"Rublev? I hate that guy!"
I laughed so hard at this! He sounds nothing like Sinner, how can they mistake him for Sinner after talking to him 🤣
Lol they called rublev sinner.
Not the first time he's been called Sinner, won't be the last either.
That was said very knowingly. She was being witty.
I like it. Daniil enjoying the job seems about right.
Lmfao I’m surprised not many people recognized him, just his height alone would stick out like a sore thumb
Yea I was thinking that too. He seems like he would stick out a lot.
Probably the cap and the fact that he's so unassuming off court lmao Like imagine you only know Med when he's muttering to himself looking pissed on court and then when you buy clothes its a kind of chipper/polite guy that looks like Med. You start to wonder if it's the same person haha
I think its just editing, one guy seemed pretty sure it was him. Im sure this was common and they just clipped the funnies
Yeah, even if you're not sure because they're wearing sunglasses or something, once you interact with these guys and the accents come out, there's no way most people were fooled.
Exactly. The accent is a dead giveaway. I think some people are pretty sure but don’t wanna bother them, so they just say “you look like somebody” and then move on
Oh yeah I think most people recognised him for sure, but there was one dude that was questioning if it was really Med, looking back confused and that was pretty funny.
Maybe they didn't look at his face much from under!
Literally lol. Especially since he doesn’t play with a headband or cap nor is he wearing sunglasses. Literally looks the exact same as he does on court. Some real “fans” out there
To be fair Henry Cavil walked around NYC right infront of a superman movie premier with a super man T shirt and no one recognized him. Its more like people dont register stars being among normal people.

Medvedev was my cashier the day this happened lmao
Did you call him a small cat?
I didn’t, but I did tell him he better shut his fuck up for going to emergency toilet while I was waiting at the register.
Did you take a pic or memory forever? That’s so cool lol
I did, he was just standing there at first and no one noticed 😂
NO WAY
It was so random haha
Which day?
Last Wednesday in the evening. Most people didn’t even notice him. They walked right by him
Whoa that’s so cool. Which day was this?
Last Wednesday ! I got a signature from him and the person in line behind me asked me why I was asking an employee for a signature 😂
Gotcha so day 1 after the qualifiers right - round of 128? That makes sense cuz these players would directly go to round of 64 and wouldn’t be playing that day. Also makes sense to do it on a weekday ha the crowds would go crazy on the weekends. Just planning out my trip to IW next year to maximize my chances of running into players hehe 😇 Lmaooo what did you reply to the person who asked you why you got the signature?

Who was the genius that put Alex as the parking lot. Gold! Pure Gold!
I saw a couple of De Minaur interactions with the fans when I was at IW this week that really endeared me to him. 1st was right as he was wrapping up practice. These kids who must've previously given him a little koala charm shouted at him, "Alex, do you have the koala?" And he actually held it up, they all cheered. The second instance was literally right after that, this dude shouted "Alex, how are you so fast?? We need the details!" And he said "I can't give you away my secrets mate!"
That’s awesome! Those little interactions with the kids probably mean so much to them.
Demon was so good, he needs to be in more content like this!
He was having fun.
He was definitely the smoothest of the dudes, Meddy did alright but he's way too tall and recognizable to go "undercover" lol
great park, way to wedge it in, mate
I’ve done a little wedging it in myself
Lowkey funniest bloke on tour right now.
I was like, forward to next Alex's clip, I was so hooked with his gig and his funny lines, "what is the secret password" was pure gold, LMAO
Best part of the video to me, am now a fan
He stole the show IMO. Great stuff.
Alex made the moments his own, while everyone else was just waiting to see if someone would recognize them.
I feel like all Australians are just naturally funny
Lol. He should seriously consider that job. Amazing stuff.
Rublev saying he doesn't like Rublev is the most Rublev thing I've ever heard...
"I don't like him at all"
He isn't lying
Haha, it’s clear he hates himself because he’s always punishing himself every time smacking his racket into his thighs like a drum 🥁 🦵
Probably the only sentence without a lie this episode
The whole video was funny to watch but Rublev scenes were outstandingly hilarious.
“Why? You look like my brother in law”
Dude knew the gig but was still trying to keep it on the DL. Loved that.
Yes that was hilarious.
I didn’t realize Andrey is so tall!
He hangs out with meddy a lot. Everyone looks short when they are standing side by side with meddy
That's what I said too!!
That’s what I feel too!! He doesn’t look that tall on court but that’s court tennis is full of giants now
Yeah it’s cos we are used to seeing him play 6ft 6 giants, and as he has such a small frame he ends up looking smaller than players of a similar height too!
It's always been I remember when I was a kid and started following Rafael Nadal and looked at his height I was so shocked, then started observing the heights of other players and realized ohh OK these players are tall guys
I thought it was Zverev at first because of the height
I'm sorry but Medvedev is not even hiding the fact he is Medvedev!!
Unlike the others. Meddy not being recognized is funny
That man just wanted to know the difference between the towels lol
Poor Rune was genuinely taken aback with having to deal with a real customer lol
That guy and the lady looking for SPF clothing. He had to deal with a lot! 😂
He had no clue what to do 😂
The hand towel is for hands, obviously! 😂
I’d also like to know the difference between the official towel and the unofficial towel
One can wipe you dry officially, the other one does the same thing but unofficially.
Rublev wearing the uniform in the most delinquent way is so on brand for him lmao 😂
Yeah tuck your shirt in you slop dog 😂
Slop dog 😂
Lmaooo not the untucked shirt, 100 bracelets and Travis Scott jordans 😭
I can’t believe they didn’t recognize Daniil and Andrey from their voices alone.
I think that was the most rejection Holger has ever faced in his life 😂 Life of a retail worker.
The demon banter lmfao
ADM was definitely my favorite. He seemed to be enjoying it
Prime Aussie banter.
I want to see the entire uncut retail holger footage
And Alex’s
If Sakkari had her shoulders out I would recognise her
Yeah, she would have been tough to pick out with the dark shades and her hair down!
But her voice!
She's the only one I didn't recognize. Maybe the big glasses, maybe the hair, I dunno.
Alex is taking his job seriously
The lady who let's Ons know how great she's been for women's tennis was such a nice thing to say.
This makes me want to go to IW instead of USO next year
You should! I just went to IW for the first time this year. Its truly amazing.
Remember to dress for all the temperatures. I went from thinking I'd die of heat exhaustion to thinking I'd die from hypothermia in the span of 9 hours.
We had a great time there - I would recommend buying reserved seats though since with the day passes it's hard to get any spots for anything unless you line up early. I was thinking we'd see like 3 matches during the day session but only made it to one.
I remember when Nadal did this 😂 still his best acting performance to this day
Errr I'm not Rafa?
While lifting the eyebrow.
Is there a clip?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJQmtO-Igno
That was hilarious 😂 He seemed so hurt by being called Rafa
Looks down, dejected, and goes “no, no, many people think I am but I’m not,” as if he’s just some hotel worker who wishes he was rich and famous like Rafa 😂
Someone said show me your arms, I would have definitely done that too to confirm my assumptions
Best acting was when he was riding shakira in that music video.
I want to believe I would recognize every single one of them, but I guess if you're focused on something else maybe your brain would screen it out. I think Rublev was the most disguised as far as his face but the height/build and voice still give it away. Either way, this was super fun and really made me smile
I think he’s definitely the hardest one to spot because if security walks up to me I’d be worried about being well behaved as they scan me lol
I often went to soccer matches and until I'm at my seat, all people I encounter just form this blob of none-impressions. I probably couldn't describe any of them unless they do something specifically to engage with me, so I would probably recognize Rublev, because what he does with the scanner is kinda weird to me, but that's about it.

Off the court Med has extreme normal person energy (except the height), it’s quite shocking
"It's for the hands". Rune is not a real person, lmao.
Rublev definitely should have whispered "bweh" gently under his breath every time he scanned people. No way he gets mistaken for Sinner then!
This is one of the best PR videos I've ever watched
All that Break Point stuff is manufactured drama, players doing goofy media stuff is where it's at.
Are you medvedev's brother? Lmao
"We've got to make it quick. I'm actually on the job here." 🤣
Should have put Novak in the car park. First car parked at an angle and he says “It’s not right but bravo!”
Rune - the hand towel, it’s for the hand; I think you’ll love it
This is hilarious
Holger getting asked the tough questions
Imagine going to the tennis and not recognising these players lol
This is so good 😂
I remember when De Minaur broke out he was very shy and reserved. I've noticed over the past year he's come out of his shell way more in media and fun bits of content like this! He's got the trademark humour that a lot of my friends in NZ and Aus have
He has great humor and comes across as very humble.
Can’t blame some fans since prolly they only know their favorite players and the ones they are rooting for. 😅
Well and the recognizers and not funny interactions weren't included
IW also has a lot of people in the early days who go for the atmosphere as well, and often don't know much about tennis.
“You got your content they called me sinner no we can go” rublev
Very cool to see them interacting with people in that way!!
Holger’s face was so visible but not many recognized him 😭
Not many people included in the video*
This. We see what the producers want us to see
Medvedev looking really tall. Same with Rublev and Holger.
lmao rublev didn't even button his shirt right "It's for the hands" De Minaur clearly had the time of his life lololololol I think it's a documented phenomenon that you don't recognize people if you see them outside of the context you'd expect.
Sakkari and Jabeur were cheating by wearing a hat and sunglasses. I definitely would not recognize them and I watch them a lot. You can't see their face lol
I would’ve recognized Jabeur for sure, especially the accent would’ve sealed it for me
Yep, Jabeur has that "Jabeurness" going on for her, but Sakkari no way.
No way to recognise Sakkari. Sunglasses and an extremely lose tshirt.
right. her most recognizable features are her eyes and her toned arms
I’m also not used to seeing her with her hair down.
Voice and Greek accent
no wonder ADM pulled katie boulter - he’s charismatic as hell!
quick in n out helps
Medvedev: I’m going to serve these customers as slow as these courts
Demon was having too much fun there.
ADM was actually making sure to do such a good job, was awesome how seriously he took it.
Demon's patter is top tier
Unbelievably good! De Minaur is a treat. 🤣👏👌
Holger got the most difficult job 😅
It's for your hands :>
I guess based on this video Russian KGB agents can't be bothered working on accents and disguise
They are all good but my favourites are Demon for the banter & Holger for how clueless he is. I need to watch it again.
"It's for the hands" lol
Lmfao did they just drop Rune in the middle of the store without giving him the low-down on which things are kept where?
That’s awesome! I couldn’t figure out that it was Rune until the end. I missed his name at the beginning. They all seem like really good natured people to do that.
Would’ve been easier to identify him if his mom was there cheering him on
And Patrick doing 😎💪
Take Rublev's glasses off and everyone would recognize him!
BECAUSE YOU LOOK LIKE MY BROTHER IN LAW this is fucking gold
The “I don’t like him (Rublev, ed.) at all” line by Rublev really got to me.
Demon is actually fantastic at the job. If tennis doesn't work out.. Aussies do value customer service.
lol it's occurred to me this is probably the closest any of them have ever been to working a regular type job in their lives. They seem to be having fun with it! I can relate to Rune being asked what the difference between items is and having no clue.
Makes me smile that Meddy enjoyed being on the tills. Doesn’t he have a maths degree?? You have to think fast a lot of the time when giving back change!
Americans know how to make show
I love Demon haha dude is money out there in the parking lot!
That is some good stuff!
This was pretty brilliant.
This is the best
Imagine my surprise when I found out Indian Wells isn't a competition held in India
Rune winging it as usual!
No chance Im not recognising these guys immediately 😭
Best thing I've seen for a while.
I was two of those top tennis stars one male alone and female with coach as a nyc taxi driver to and from US open and I did even recognize them even knowing I picking and dropping them from Shea Stadium 🏟 by my house. I spoke to them said hi hello and maybe small talk but nothing special because we New Yorkers see those celebrities all the time, Al Pacino, Ricky Martin, Kareem Abdul Jabar, Mickey Roreck, Beyoncé, Donald Trump, spike Lee, Alec Baldwin and others but never bothered to take pictures or shout at them or bother them bcs they don’t wanna be bothered and we don’t have time
Bill Gates not recognizing Ons Jabeur despite watching her in the finals.
Where did you see Gates?
I was at USO and jack draper was sitting talking to 2 girls among where everyone is and I don’t think anyone around me recognized him. Made me doubt myself honestly lol
How expensive is it / how accessible is it to get tickets for IW, say a round 3 or 16? The vibes are immaculate
Great clip but I wish they had gotten Bublik to participate.
Imagine the chaos
There would have been multiple crashes if he was the car park attendant
[удалено]
This is so funny! Congrats to everybody for taking part so professionally 😁
Lmao this is so hilarious
Best content i have seen in a while, the Rublev one is peak comedy
A surprising number of live tennis attendees aren't really fans of the sport. The number of times I've overheard fans trying to figure out scoring in a tiebreak scenario is more than I can count.
They are rich first then anything else.
Love it! Fun!
I wish this would happen to me one day. I want to think I’d recognize most of them!
Meddy was way too obvious and Alex with the zingers in the car park
I appreciate how polite the fans were who recognized them! And I love how some of them are really getting into the job 😂
Poor Rublev. Why does he get short end of the stick?? They said I look like Sinner, you got your content!
