Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen's 'bizarre' tennis-themed split announcement is being mercilessly mocked online.

The Borat star, 52, and the Australian actress, 48, revealed that they had quietly separated last year after 14 years of marriage on Friday by sharing a snap that showed them posing in matching tennis outfits.

But immediately, many people on social media couldn't help but poke fun of the rather odd way that they decided to share the news.

'After a long tennis match lasting over 20 years, we are finally putting our racquets down,' they captioned the image, which was shared to each of their Instagram Stories.

Immediately, many people on X couldn't help but poke fun of the rather odd way that they decided to share the news, with one calling it 'an insane way to announce your divorce'

It showed Sacha standing behind his former wife with his arm wrapped around her shoulder. They both donned white tennis ensembles.

'In 2023 we jointly filed to end our marriage. We have always prioritized our privacy and have been quietly working through this change,' the statement continued.

'We forever share in our devotion and love for our children. We sincerely appreciate your respecting our family's wish for privacy.'

X, formerly Twitter, was quickly flooded with posts from users who branded the announcement as 'weird,' 'insane,' and 'bonkers.'

'This is an insane way to announce your divorce,' one person wrote. Another agreed, 'Weirdest way to announce a divorce ever.'

'I can't believe this is the way they chose to [announce] it,' someone else added.

'A tennis-themed celebrity divorce announcement was not on my bingo card,' a fourth tweet read.

A fifth said, 'You can't be asking for privacy with such a goofy divorce announcement.'

'She's so iconic,' a different user wrote, while another said, 'They kinda ate here.'

Someone else wondered, 'Did they dress up specifically to make the tennis match metaphor or was that a preexisting picture?'

'10/10 announcement. That's how you do it. No notes,' another tweet read. 

'Imagine taking time out of your day to go to a costume fitting for your divorce announcement photoshoot,' one user added.

Another jokingly wondered if it was an 'elaborate piece of Challengers promo,' referencing the upcoming tennis movie starring Zendaya.

Sacha and Isla first met back in 2001 and tied the knot in 2010. They are parents to daughters Olive, 17, and Elula, 13; and son Montgomery, nine.

The announcement comes after Rebel Wilson made a series of shocking claims about her experience with 'a**hole' comedian Sacha in her new memoir, Rebel Rising.

Rebel played Sacha's on-screen girlfriend in the 2016 comedy The Brothers Grimsby, and she claimed that he 'humiliated' her and made her feel 'disrespected on set.'

She alleged that he once requested she 'stick her finger up his a**' because he thought it would make for a funny scene. 

'I was scared. I wanted to get out of there, so I finally compromised: I slapped him on the a** and improvised a few lines as the character,' she wrote. 

She said 'it felt like he had sexually harassed her,' adding, 'I felt completed disrespected, which led to me treating myself with even more disrespect by eating in an extremely unhealthy way.'

Rebel also claimed that during filming, Sacha would repeatedly 'mention that he wanted her to go naked in a future scene,' which she alleged was in 'no way essential' to the film's plot.

Sascha has strenuously denied her claims. His rep said in a statement afterwards, 'While we appreciate the importance of speaking out, these demonstrably false claims are directly contradicted by extensive detailed evidence, including contemporaneous documents, film footage and eyewitness accounts from those present before, during and after the production of Grimsby.'

Just two months ago Isla discussed her Valentine's plans with Sacha on The Kelly Clarkson show, saying: 'Every year Sacha does give me a card that's like, "Happy Valentine's from..." and then there's a massive question mark. 

'As if anybody else would send me... as if I have any other Valentines. I'm a mother of three. I mean, I'm always like, "Ooooh. So many men."'
