Van Assche, Mensik and Shang choose their favourite doubles partner
On the occasion of the Next Gen Masters, ATP conducted a cross-examination with Luca Van Assche, Jakub Mensik and Juncheng Shang.
The players answered a number of questions about their favorite series, their favorite dish, or the person they'd like to swap lives with for a day.
But the most interesting question concerned their dream doubles partner.
Mensik: "I'd choose Dustin Brown. He's fun, he's a showman and he can play well at the net. I think he'd be a nice choice."
Van Assche: "Federer, because he's my favorite player."
Shang: "I'd say Li Na. She's been a great inspiration for Chinese tennis.
My greatest memory of seeing her play was at the 2014 Australian Open final when she won. On the men's side, I'd go for Novak Djokovic."
