Wawrinka & Djokovic Reunite On Instagram Live

Top players on the ATP Tour have been forming their own talk show circuit this week on social media. Just 24 hours after Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray held an Instagram Live together, the Serbian returned to the platform on Saturday for a chat with Stan Wawrinka that covered plenty of ground.

As the pair discussed last year’s Wimbledon final and the crowd support that Roger Federer received, Wawrinka asked Djokovic why he thinks this happens in many of their matches. The World No. 1 in the FedEx ATP Rankings responded by paying tribute to both Federer and Rafael Nadal, acknowledging that their games and personalities make it easy for fans to get behind them.

“In most places, I’m not expecting the majority of the crowd to be on my side [when I play them]… I think it’s just the greatness of Federer and Nadal, not just as tennis players, but as people,” Djokovic said. “[They’re] very charismatic and nice guys, humble guys, great champions who have made a huge mark in our sport. I’m part of their era, so in one way I’m lucky and in another way, not so much.”

Djokovic and Wawrinka also shared light-hearted moments during their talk. They joked about the Serbian’s playful banter on the shorts that Wawrinka wore while winning the 2015 Roland Garros title, as well as Djokovic’s regimented diet.

“Are you 35, Stan? What’s your secret potion.”
