Sense of humor

Dan Dan was a boy, a boy and a serious man. But under seriousness, he hid no small mischief. Whoever "surpassed" Dan's unique sense of humor was none other than his first coach Elisha Haim.

Elisha relates : "Dan read the Haaretz newspaper from the moment he learned to read. I saw it with my own eyes. But under the rare intelligence and seriousness, he was a big naughty boy. I do not forget to this day he hated collecting balls in training. When all the children were running and collecting Balls after Daryl, Dan would only act as if. He would kick the balls from one side to the other or to the fence and try to dodge my eye.
We called Dan Dan at the "Warm Floor" center. As he did not like to collect balls, he also got lazy on the court with his footwork. I remember one summer I went down to the field and told him "Dan Dan take off your shoes".
He took off and the floor under him was so burning and burning his legs that he was  Started to bounce. I said to him: "Do you see Dan? What is footwork? Is it footwork !!  And Dan would understand the hint and start moving ... "

Andy Ram : "I remember we spent a lot of time with a small group of a few friends together and for some reason I remember mainly one meeting where we sat with Eran Dank and started telling jokes. Dan, Eran Dank, Ofir Korkus and I were there.  I do not remember exactly who told a joke about David Levy (it was fashionable then): "David Levy's secretary walks into his office and sees him eating the computer. She asks him 'David what are you doing?', And he replies to her: 'IBM compatible.' "I remember Dan started laughing and couldn't stop. He rolled on the floor and cried with laughter and caught up with us all."

Eran Dank : Dan Dan was humble and kind-hearted and at the same time, satanic and funny - one that was just fun to be with. I will not forget that once we came home to me from a game between us in the competition and Or Dekel who reached the final from the other side of the lottery and then lived downstairs in the same building shouted at us "Who won"?
Before I could open my mouth Dan shouted "I". I was in no hurry to fix it.
Dan was a satanic and I flowed with him. The next day, Or Dekel enters the field and sees that I am entering the game with him. He realized that Dan was working on it. We burst out laughing just seeing his face. "

Tomer Ablagon : "I remember one game in a doubles tournament for a family. Dan and his mother Ronit played against my mother and against me. My mother is not a great player. But Dan was so competitive, that the whole game hit all the balls for her. He never gave up a game and Not that time. Needless to say we were defeated without mercy. When we met in New York after many years, I offered Dan to go and hit some balls in memory of days gone by, but he told me, "If you pay me for a private lesson then have fun ..."
