'Leaning on comedy' | Tennis coach causes hilarity online
CINCINNATI After months of anticipation, tennis fans are cheering. The Cincinnati Open starts in a few days! And if you play tennis, you know that tennis can be a frustrating, even painful sport.
But a tennis coachwith a penchant for Ohio, finds humor in the lives of tens of thousands of fans.
“We're a quiet sport. You have to keep a serious face and just march through life and when you're suffering, you have to keep it quiet. I feel like I want to break that a little bit,” said tennis coach Conor Casey.
Casey can't stay silent any longer.
“Look, most of us are not champions. But we are constantly evaluating where we are or how we are performing. [Tennis] is just ripe for comedy,” he said.
The former Ohio State tennis player, now a pro and Instagram star, provides daily tennis comedy for his 40,000-plus followers, who know how tough it can be on the tennis court.
“I get a lot of responses like, 'correct' or 'seen,'” he said.
We spoke with Casey via Zoom from his home in Kingston, Ontario.
The Canadian said he fell in love with the Buckeye State when he was a Buckeye himself.
“Ohio State approached me when I was ranked No. 1 in Canada as a junior in doubles and No. 4 in singles. There was no scholarship available, but they wanted me to take a chance on them. I said no,” he said.
He initially turned down OSU and went to Ole Miss. But he backed out, saying it's the people that make the place.
“I love the people of Ohio, I've always had a great relationship with them,” Casey said.
“I'm also a big fan of Skyline Chili,” he said.
As for his Instagram page, Casey said success didn’t come overnight. But he kept his eye on the ball.
“I said, OK, I have to post every day for 50 days and around the 48th video I made a college assessment video where two college tennis players are kind of grilling each other about how we're all doing,” he said, “and that got a million views in a couple of days. And I was like, OK, I have to keep focusing on the comedy.”
Casey was already leaning that way.
“For the last 10-15 years I've been writing mostly sitcoms and series based in Toronto and LA,” he said.
Now he has combined his two loves, drawing on his experiences as a coach and as a writer.
And just like in tennis, comedy is all about timing.
