World No.1 Novak Djokovic is already a pioneer in asking tough questions to his opponents on the court. But at Monte Carlo Masters 2021, he took it upon himself to interview his good friend Alexander Zverev. It was a funny banter that left both the players laughing.
Starting off the interview, Djokovic discarded tennis and asked Zverev how he felt ‘deep inside’. Zverev was surprised with the question and thus wondered why Djokovic was interested in the topic.

“So Sascha, here we are at Rolex Monte Carlo Masters 2021. How do you feel, man? Does anybody ask you how you feel? Just how are you deep inside?” Djokovic asked.
“You are the only one that is asking me. I don’t know, for some reason you’re the only one that is interested, actually. So it’s always very nice to talk to you. But every time we talk, it’s about three hours long, so we will not do this in front of the camera,” Zverev answered.
“I wish you a stellar, universal performance here – all the way to the quarters” 🤪

“What are the other subjects that you’re interested in other than tennis? Not particularly with me, but just in general,” Djokovic asked.
