When tennis fans talk about Hubert Hurkacz's delivery, they're usually discussing the Pole's booming serve, one of the best on the ATP Tour. But the 26-year-old can also deliver a good punch line.
His comedic timing was on full display in the latest edition of our 'Travel With A Pro' series, in which the Pole gives an interview from his Vienna hotel room. Our Q&A got off to a rough start, with Hurkacz pointing out the "Privacy Please" sign on his door: "That wasn't respect!" he joked.
He later shared the importance of his physiotherapist during his time on the road. A big Formula 1 fan, Hurkacz enjoys watching the weekend races with his physio and was travelling with a book on the history of the sport.
"I actually watch every single race," he said. "Very rarely I miss one."
Hurkacz also showed off a hoodie with cartoons printed on it... though he stopped short of calling himself a fashionista. But there's one accessory he takes great pride in: his slippers, which he kicked in the air and caught with panache.
"I thought that was pretty good!" he said, satisfied with his on-camera feat.
