After sending seven-time Grand Slam champion John McEnroe to the ground (OK, McEnroe was being a little dramatic), Mansour Bahrami rushed to the other side to “revive” him, performing “CPR” in the process (you can see it around the 2:02 mark).

The older stars in Melbourne were competing in the Men's Legends' Doubles draw, with McEnroe pairing with his brother Patrick, and Bahrami teaming with Fabrice Santoro.

The 60-year-old Bahrami was not a superstar in the tennis world during his professional playing days—he never made it past the second round of a Grand Slam in singles during his career.

But he may have been one of the most popular players on court that day, famous for entertaining tennis fans around the world with his magnificent touch and expressive personality while playing doubles in various senior-level events.

Bahrami has played a couple of Men’s Legends’ Doubles matches this week in Melbourne Park. While those matches are never taken seriously, they do a great job of entertaining fans and getting more people interested in the sport.

Who said that the only action at the majors takes place on the televised courts?
