Novak Djokovic stuns press conference by answering in Chinese

The Telegraph  

As every tennis fan knows, Djokovic is the man for all seasons and all surfaces – a Swiss-army knife of a player who can switch up his style at will. And that versatility extends off the court, for he can sustain a conversation in at least half-a-dozen different languages, regularly conducting post-match interviews in the local tongue. Djokovic has won his first two matches at the United Cup, against China’s Zhizhen Zhang and the Czech Republic’s Jiri Lehecka, although there was some minor concern in the second match when he needed medical treatment on his right wrist. You have to find a solution and thankfully I managed to finish the match.” Despite this niggle, Djokovic is odds-on with most bookmakers to claim an 11th Australian Open title at the end of this month and thus extend his dominant sequence to four of the last five majors. Tournament organisers will be praying that the draw throws up a blockbuster meeting between him and a resurgent Rafael Nadal, who made a highly impressive return to the match court on Tuesday.
