Ahead of Wimbledon, Novak Djokovic and Aryna Sabalenka put on a hilarious show for the media in London. While training together on the All England Club courts, the seven-time Wimbledon champion couldn’t resist crashing the Belarusian player’s press conference with some friendly teasing. Djokovic smiled and asked Sabalenka to hurry up because he wanted to take over the podium. Sabalenka then flipped the script and became the interviewer, firing playful questions at Djokovic about their joint training session. The three-time Grand Slam winner asked what he thought while she was hitting the ball at him and how he rated her level. Djokovic replied that she has potential but lacks intensity and needs to add some power and flair on the court. This funny moment isn’t Djokovic’s first media stunt — back in 2011, Caroline Wozniacki famously crashed his press conference and started asking him questions. This year, Djokovic aims to win his eighth Wimbledon title and 25th Grand Slam overall, while Sabalenka will kick off her campaign against Carson Branstine. Their friendly banter and joint training show that even tennis’s biggest stars know how to relax and have fun before the big matches.
