 Recently, the 25-year-old tennis player provided his take to increase engagement in the show. In a press conference, following his victory in the opening round of the French Open, he said, “I think to be fair, this year there’s been a lot more on-court arguments, stuff like that. Maybe they can put it in there, spice it up, give a bit of that, but I don’t know. I feel like they definitely don’t want to create a story that’s not there.”
