The best tennis players in the world will fight next week for ATP Finals in Turin, one of the most important tournaments of the season. Fortunately, there is a friendly atmosphere among the players at least before the competition.
There was a funny episode during a training session when Andrey Rublev showed the middle finger to Rafael Nadal. The Spanish champion didn’t miss the chance to jokingly show Rublev who is the boss by “attacking” him during a changeover.
Here is the video.
