Run by , the seventh instalment of a plan to become the most talked-about company during the tennis season has begun again.

Promoting the PR stunt with a four-time Grand Slam winner from the 1990s, the food and travel organisation have wasted no time in getting their name about again.

Here, they use a popular American ex-pro, impressing fans with their performance with microphone in hand rather than racket.

Currently on host broadcast duty for ‘s Channel Nine, the two-time Aussie and winner has dropped live coverage for pedalling around to deliver meals.

Seen cycling with a big reflective jacket and Uber delivery bag, the 1992 world No1 has been pictured ensuring families and individuals get their groceries.

In a mockumentary released, the Uber delivery courier is none other than himself.

In a one minute advert, the 55-year-old is seen handing over a bag of food with a big smile on his face before running off to his next task.

On the underpass he is filmed overtaking another cyclist before catching up with other Uber riders outside a food chain at night.

With fellow tennis commentator narrating over the whole thing and a cameo from great , the video has highlights of Courier from his playing days as well as pics of old-fashioned bikes.

Courier is the perfect mock courier here for Uber and has won over tennis supporters watching on from home.

He has become one of the most popular analysts and pundits for the sport and takes his role seriously.

Courier said: “Working with Uber Eats was a chance to step into a world that moves just as fast as the one I competed in for years.

“There’s a rhythm to delivery work – reading the streets, timing your moves, staying calm when things get messy – and honestly, it woke up a part of me that still loves a challenge.

“It’s different pressure, but it’s pressure all the same.

“This campaign let me take the discipline and focus I relied on during my career and apply it to something totally unexpected.

“There’s a tactical side to delivery life – navigating the city, solving problems on the move – and leaning into that made the experience feel surprisingly familiar.

“It’s fun, it’s loose, and it taps into that uniquely Australian sense of humour I’ve always admired.”

He added: “Reuniting with Pat and Todd reminded me why I’ve always felt at home here.

“We’ve shared stadiums, locker rooms, commentary boxes – and now this.

“The chemistry is effortless, the trust is real, and the banter never stops.

“Bringing that history into something playful like this campaign made the whole experience feel genuinely special.”

Rafter, who chatted to Courier whilst being on a raft in the ad, said: “Playing a rafter was too good to pass up.

“My dad was a rafter, his dad was a rafter, so the joke practically writes itself.

“It’s a nice reminder that sometimes the simplest ideas are the most entertaining.”

The work has also gone down well online with one X user writing: “This Uber Eats spot with tennis great Jim Courier is so damn cute.

“Seriously what’s not to love!”

Courier, who was dominant between 1991 and 1993, reaching seven Grand Slam finals and winning four, made no mistake in dispatching this like he did with so many opponents back in the day.
