World No. 1 Novak Djokovic found himself engaging in a charming and endearing interview with children during his visit to Turin for the Nitto ATP Finals. The heartwarming exchange took place with Santiago Gonzalez’s kids, Matias and Camila, as part of an Instagram series documenting Gonzalez’s life on tour with his family.
The interview began with light-hearted topics, including Djokovic’s fond childhood memory of receiving a toy car as a gift from Santa Claus. The conversation then took a playful turn when the children asked Djokovic about his kids’ candy intake, to which the 24-time major champion shared a humorous insight into their clever hiding techniques.
As the conversation progressed, Camila invited Djokovic to play doubles with her father, prompting a jovial response from the tennis star. Djokovic entertained the idea and expressed willingness to play with Gonzalez in Mexico if the opportunity arises, despite jesting about his own double’s skill level.
The interaction further included Oliver, Goran Ivanisevic’s son, who enthusiastically endorsed the idea of the match in Mexico, expressing his love for swimming. Djokovic, along with Gonzalez and his doubles partner Edouard Roger-Vasselin, are currently standing at 1-1 in the ATP Finals tournament.
