Is she smiling? Is she smirking?

It’s a question posed for hundreds of years about Leonardo Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa portrait. The oil painting was completed during the Italian Renaissance and has been the star attraction of the Musée du Louvre in Paris since 1797.

Tennis Channel asked several WTA and ATP stars to give their best impression of the subject, Lisa del Giocondo, depicted in the famed artwork. Of those who participated, Ons Jabeur stood out with her commitment and ability to keep a straight face.

Other players such as Iga Swiatek, Coco Gauff and Casper Ruud struggled to contain their laughter. Even Elena Rybakina couldn’t hold the pose for more than a second without breaking character.
