A monkey from Japan by the name of 'Riki' is taking the internet by storm with videos of his tennis playing ability,with the ape showing off his sublime skills with racket in hand.
Using an appropriately sized racket, the tiny monkey takes to the court against a man who is seemingly his owner, and the Daily Mail reports.
The six-year-outmoded ape begins by practising his volleys,before jumping in the air to hit a number of overhead smash shots.
Impressively, each time Riki is fed a ball, and he manages to return it over the small net.
At the finish of his tennis lesson the ape is congratulated,before posing for a photo with the man.
While their has been widespread love for the adorable ape online, not all have been left impressed by his performance.
A number of viewers have labeled the footage cruel, or pointing out that throughout it Riki is tied to a rope.
Footage of Riki's tennis playing has been viewed more than 300000 times online in less than six hours since it was first shared on Thursday morning.
