Whacky tennis fans keep delivering one hilarious story after another—after watching them, your heart just sinks!

After playing for a long time, you’ll meet all sorts of unique and diverse basketball buddies. So, how has the guy by your side changed? Would you still be willing to play with him?


Come on, share your—see which "genius" you've encountered below!



1. Have you ever seen a teammate who plays way too casually? It’s seriously frustrating—like they’re deliberately trying to sabotage the team!


Hehe, with a super casual attitude, he doesn’t even care whether the shot is good or bad—sometimes, missing badly can feel even more satisfying than nailing a perfect one!


It seems like playing is all about breaking a sweat—even some people can’t quite understand why others take it so seriously, often responding with, “Dude, what’s the big deal? It’s just winning the neighborhood badminton tournament…”



2. When I meet someone like this, I’m utterly impressed—down to my very core.


Reserved and taciturn, yet exceptionally skilled, he rarely takes action unless absolutely necessary—only stepping forward when the team is short-handed or when a true master personally invites him. He possesses an uncanny ability to control the flow of the game, handling both leading and trailing situations with ease. Whether he wants to win, lose, or even determine the exact margin of victory, he has the power—and finesse—to make it happen.



3. Encountering the little engine on the court—it’s enough to make you want to cry!


Since I’ve only recently started playing badminton, my posture and movements aren’t yet professional—but I’ve got natural athletic talent. On the court, I’m totally committed, sprinting tirelessly in every direction without ever complaining of fatigue.


No matter what, you can always make sure you work up a good sweat—plus, occasionally, you might even manage to push your opponent to do the same: "Wow, he’s still running after that? This guy must be made of steel!"




4. Without Tang Sanzang’s neck-restraining spell, there’s still his constant, lingering thought—clearly indicating he doesn’t want to see him again anytime soon.


Always loves playing the role of organizer, expert, and master, often pointing fingers at players on the court—or even at their own partners—while delivering two-minute, non-stop speeches, both on and off the field.


You don’t want to listen, yet you’ve got to: How to make runs, how to adjust, how to pass the ball, how to turn defense into offense—seriously, are you Tang Monk? Talking nonstop like that!



5. The Uncompromising, Lone-Ranger Type


I only want to compete against—definitely not willing to partner up or play alongside players of average skill, as I believe hanging out with these so-called "losers" is simply a waste of time.



6. Ambitious Sadist


Though my own skills aren’t great, I always crave the thrill of testing myself against—wanting to pick up a few new tricks along the way. Even if I get absolutely crushed in the process, it still feels totally worth it. That’s just me, haha...



7. The Optimist Who Isn’t Afraid of Disdain


His basketball moves were quirky and often met with laughter from the sidelines, but he absolutely loved playing on the court. Full of energy and deeply engaged, he fought fiercely for every point—never getting caught up in winning or losing, always staying calm and composed, with a truly open and enlightened mindset.


These kinds of people have incredibly open minds—they often cheer, "So what if we get beaten? After all, we’re not professional players!" Now that’s truly admirable spirit!




8. That elderly gentleman has always been a role model for me to follow.


As you get older, your age and physical stamina simply can't match those of younger players—but your technical skills and tactical awareness remain incredibly sharp. You may move at a leisurely pace, but with your seasoned, masterful handling of the game, you can push everyone in half the arena to their limits.


Moreover, he’s smart and rarely relies on brute force—instead, he often pulls off brilliant shots based on experience, earning him the respect and admiration of fellow players.



9. No friends on the court—blame it all on your big mouth.


Constantly muttering to himself—whether lamenting a bad pitch, blaming his partner for poor execution, or criticizing the opponent—he’s the quintessential nagging expert everyone avoids, leaving camaraderie with teammates hanging by a thread.



10. When you encounter someone with advanced narcissistic cancer, there’s simply no cure.


Great at playing, but loves showing off—often striking a pose that says, "Look at me! Come see my dazzling skills and stunning moves!" Occasionally, they’ll whip out a few shots that seem only a true expert could pull off, flashing a confident smirk reserved for players who truly deserve it.



11. Encountering a reclusive hermit living in solitude, I wanted to ask him to teach me how to play ball—but I had no idea how to even start the conversation.


You just watch him glide in and drift away—quietly, almost invisibly. The court is eerily silent, and off the court, he doesn’t strike up many conversations with people. In fact, you hardly ever hear his voice—despite playing the ball pretty well, he somehow manages to remain largely unnoticed.



12. Encountering someone who tries to take shortcuts always leaves me speechless.


They love pulling lots of little tricks—like deliberately shaking the serve, pausing awkwardly before hitting the ball, suddenly lifting their heels, making sudden wrist movements, or even giving a quick signal right before returning the serve—to throw off your rhythm.


There will always be moments when you're caught off guard—so if you fall for it, things could get tricky...



13. Do you prefer playing with guys or girls? As long as there’s a ball to play with, cherish it!


I enjoy playing men’s doubles but prefer not to play mixed doubles—because they’re always striving to improve their skills. Some people take this to an extreme: they believe that partnering exclusively with women will ultimately ruin their own game. But is that really the case?


He enjoys partnering with female players—playing alongside them allows him to reach his peak performance, and it’s especially thrilling and joyful to team up with women on the court!



14. When you run into a golf buddy who’s calm and laid-back, you just want to turn around and walk away.


They simply don’t care about winning or losing, or even the score. Often, when it’s unclear whether a point is in or out, they’ll proactively award the point to the opponent. After all, there’s no real prize at stake—neither house nor land—but upsetting everyone over something like this just isn’t worth it.



15. Meet a basketball enthusiast—anyone you spot at the court is sure to be a fan!


Meeting a basketball fanatic, you’d be shocked by just how obsessed he is with the game—playing up to eight times a week, if not more. On weekends, he’s practically running from one court to another, keeping himself busier than even a celebrity juggling multiple TV appearances.



16. Some people play basketball without losing weight—and yet their skills don’t seem to improve much either.


I just want to break a sweat—not necessarily get better. After years of playing, my attendance has been stellar, yet as I keep getting older and gaining weight, my skills haven’t improved at all... Weird, isn’t it? Am I even wasting my time on this game?



17. Meeting a gentleman on the court—losing to him actually makes you feel even better!


Compete with all your might, but always respect the game and your opponents. Whether it’s an unlucky bounce, accidentally hitting someone, or even winning by a landslide—always offer a heartfelt apology. And above all, keep that warm, welcoming smile on your face at every moment, so even when you lose, it feels like a gentle breeze rather than a harsh blow.


18. Some people stop at nothing to achieve victory.


Hit the ball with all your might, yet somehow you always seem to have endless energy left to unleash on your opponent. You celebrate wildly after a lucky shot, roar loudly when you accidentally hit someone else, and even argue passionately over borderline calls—ultimately winning the point. And when you finally clinch the victory, it’s as if you can’t wait for everyone in the entire stadium to drop to their knees and worship you.



19. Some people have been lingering outside the court, unable to get in.


Seeing everyone else playing badminton makes me eager to give it a try too, though I’ve never played indoors before. Occasionally, when the mood strikes, I’ll swing my racket a couple of times downstairs in the neighborhood—but I don’t really pay much attention to whether it’s windy or not.



A few days later, he mentioned he’d bought a badminton racket. Everyone wondered: how should I gently suggest to him that it’s better to buy just one racket instead of a pair?


Have you ever met a tennis buddy like this? If so, bring them out and show them off!
