While competing in the current Diriyah Tennis Cup in Riyadh, Andrey Rublev and Matteo Berrettini recently conducted interviews with one another.
The two players conversed amusingly, casually asking each other odd questions. First using the microphone, Berrettini questioned the Russian about his interests in his spare time. A minute later, Rublev assumed the role of the interviewer and questioned the Italian, the World No. 16, about the foot injury he sustained at the 2022 Naples Open and how it has affected his recovery.
Enjoy the interaction.
