Novak Djokovic led the eight
ATP Finals qualifiers in a game of "most likely to" prior to the start of the tournament in Turin.
The top 8 players of the season who made it to the 2023 Nitto ATP Finals in Turin were Djokovic,
Carlos Alcaraz,
Daniil Medvedev,
Jannik Sinner,
Andrey Rublev,
Stefanos Tsitsipas, Alexander Zverev, and Holger Rune. Ahead of the prestigious season-ending championship, they all gathered together to reveal their thoughts on each other in a hilarious game.
World No. 1 Djokovic hosted the game, during which they spun a wheel and took the corresponding topic, naming the player most relevant to the topic chosen. Once a player was assigned to a number, they couldn't be chosen again.
Alcaraz's eating and Rublev's crying among players' answers
The first question asked players to name who they thought ate the most at the Player Buffet. Everyone responded with Alcaraz, leading them to burst out laughing. "I don't think there's any discussion. Everyone has voted for Carlos. And I think it's quite clear that he loves to eat," said Djokovic.
In another round, players were asked who would be most likely to cry after a match, regardless of whether or not they won or lost. Rublev immediately named himself, and almost everyone else followed suit. Medvedev suggested that it could be Djokovic, but the 24-time Grand Slam champion jokingly pointed out that he expressed his emotions in a different way: "I break racquets but I don't cry," he said.
At this, Medvedev changed his answer and Rublev was declared, in Djokovic's words, "the most emotional, beautiful-looking, crying baby. Tennis player cry baby." Following this, the 36-year-old won the round for which player would sign every autograph even after losing.
At first, players were split between Djokovic and Tsitsipas. "I think what's more important is after losing," Medvedev said, at which point Sinner joked that "Novak won, already so much, even if you lose I think you won," as another player added that "He signed more than us for sure!"
