"You two are too much" - Chris Evert, Jessica Pegula & others react to Belinda Bencic & Donna Vekic mimicking men's & women's post-match handshakes

Chris Evert, Jessica Pegula and other former and current tennis players have reacted to a hilarious video of Belinda Bencic and Donna Vekic mimicking the post-match handshakes between men and women.

Bencic and Vekic are currently in New York, training ahead of the US Open. During one of their practice sessions they made a short but funny video on the difference between post-match handshakes of male and female tennis players.

In the 11-second video, Bencic and Vekic can be seen doing an exaggeratedly friendly men's handshake and bursting into laughter, before doing the relatively cold women's handshake.

A number of tennis players reacted to the video, with 18-time Grand Slam champion Chris Evert loving the comparison.

"You two are TOO much," Evert wrote.

Chris Evert was not the only tennis figure to respond to the video. Jessica Pegula called the video 'spot on' before adding that they could have been a bit more 'touchy-feely' during the men's handshake.

"Spot on - although I think the mens handshake you still could of been more touchy feely," the World No. 8 wrote.

Pegula's doubles partner Coco Gauff also echoed the former's view, saying:

"Hahahhaha I think the men one you could get even closer. This is hilarious."

Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova also gave her two cents on the video, saying that Bencic might have been guilty of such coldness herself on occasion:

"Exactly! Including Belinda doing this in the past."

Many others like Alexander Zverev, Daniela Hantuchova, Marketa Vondrousova and Daria Saville reacted to the video with laughing emojis as well.

Belinda Bencic has won 31 out of 46 matches so far this season. She lifted the Charleston Open trophy in April after beating Ons Jabeur in the final of the competition.

Bencic also reached the final of the Bett1open in Berlin, this time conceding the title to Jabeur after suffering an injury mid-match. She then lost in the opening round of Wimbledon, before reaching the quarterfinals of the Canadian Open (losing to eventual runner-up Beatriz Haddad Maia).

Bencic suffered an opening-round exit at the Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati, at the hands of Sorana Cirstea.

After losing to Jessica Pegula in the opening round of Wimbledon, Vekic reached the last 16 of the Citi Open and lost to Wang Xiyu. The 26-year-old qualified for the main draw at the Canadian Open but was thrashed by eventual champion Simona Halep in the first round.
