Watch: Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu can't handle it as comedian interviews them as Andy Murray and Rafael Nadal

At the Queen’s Club Championships, the tennis was not the only thing keeping fans entertained cue comedian Josh Berry, who turned a press day into a laugh riot by grilling tennis stars while impersonating their sporting idols.

Armed with a mic and a very convincing Andy Murray drawl (plus a spot-on Rafael Nadal), Berry went full method, throwing questions at players like Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu all in character.

Alcaraz visibly struggled to stay seated as Berry mimicked Nadal’s distinctive voice and mannerisms, rocking back in laughter as he heard the uncanny imitation of his fellow Spaniard. Raducanu, meanwhile, tried to keep her composure while "Andy Murray" grilled her in deadpan Scottish tones, but the cracks in her poker face were clear.

The questions, cooked up by Berry alongside the LTA and ATP Media teams, ranged from silly to surreal. One asked the players to choose who they would kiss, marry, or kill out of the legendary "Big Three": Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic.

Raducanu refused to answer that one, and who could blame her? But things only got stranger when she was then asked, "Which came first: the chicken or the egg of the chicken?".

They were not the only stars to face the fun. Frances Tiafoe, Madison Keys, Grigor Dimitrov, Katie Boulter and her fiancé Alex De Minaur all sat down with the impersonator and couldn’t contain their laughter either.

Here is a clip from the video posted by Tennis TV:

The video featuring Alcaraz and Raducanu was released shortly after it was confirmed that the duo would team up in what promises to be a blockbuster mixed doubles event at this year’s US Open. The 2025 edition is set to feature an unprecedented lineup, including nine of the world’s top 10 women and nine of the top 10 men, making it one of the most talked-about mixed doubles draws in tennis history.

The format for the competition has also been revealed and promises to deliver action-packed entertainment. A field of 16 teams will compete, with eight teams receiving direct entry based on their combined singles rankings and another eight earning wild-card spots. A total of $1 million in prize money will be awarded to the champions.

Matches will be played as best-of-three sets using short sets to four games, no-ad scoring, and tiebreaks at four-all. Instead of a full third set, a 10-point match tiebreak will be used. The final will be played as a best-of-three sets to six games, also using no-ad scoring and a 10-point tiebreaker if necessary. All matches will take place inside Arthur Ashe Stadium or Louis Armstrong Stadium.

Still, as anticipation builds for the summer’s biggest tournament, it’s clear that whether on court or off, players like Alcaraz and Raducanu are continuing to win fans over. Especially when the questions are coming from Andy Murray… or at least, someone who sounds remarkably like him.
