The 17-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic stormed into the second round of the French Open 2020. Djokovic defeated Mikael Ymer 6-0, 6-2, 6-3, and wrapped up the first set in just 20 minutes. The 2016 Roland Garros champion is aiming to become the first man in the Open Era to win each Grand Slam multiple times.
During the post-match conference, Italian journalist, Ubaldo Scanagatta questioned Djokovic on the reason behind giving long answers. Scanagatta wanted to know whether Djokovic gave long answers because he respected the journalists or was it simply so that the tennis star would have fewer questions to answer at the end.
The World No. 1 took the question lightheartedly and told Ubaldo that he was one of his favorite journalists. Djokovic talked about keeping the answers short if they wanted them to be short.

“I don’t know how to comprehend what you just asked me, because I don’t know if you’re satisfied or not satisfied with my answers. If you want me to keep them short, I will keep them short. You tell me, Ubi. You know you’re one of my favorites. So tell me, what do you want?” Djokovic said.
