Warning: Full Game of Thrones and Tennis spoilers almost guaranteed


In the seemingly endless wait between Game of Thrones seasons, any way to stay connected with the show is explored. As we await the answers to some of the shows biggest questions after the conclusion of Season 5, our focus in this article takes us in a different direction entirely.

There are titanic power struggles dominating the Game of Thrones landscape with factions from every corner of the known world. Naturally we drew comparisons with the world of men’s tennis, where there has been an equally fearsome fight for domination.

No one player has exerted their dominance over the last decade of the sport while characters in Game of Thrones also grapple with threats to their throne. A major loss in tennis can be as devastating a setback to glory as being beheaded in Westeros.

Please join us on the journey where we looked at what would happen if the cast of Game of Thrones were to be replaced by the elite of men’s tennis. We provide justifications of our casting choices, which admittedly are pretty tenuous at times.

Our journey features the Big Four along with some other key figures on the tour, with a take on what they would look like in their new roles. You could certainly be forgiven for wanting to see some of these characters appear in Season 6.
