This year, the tennis world has seen the 21-year-old as a fierce competitor, carrying high energy and emotions on the court. But recently, in a conversation on running shoes, he talked about his various types of personalities and how he had led an introverted life before entering the tennis court.
He said, “I tried to keep partying to a minimum. Every once in a while I like to go out, see people, and do different things, but on a normal day, I’m just fine staying inside. I don’t like going to overcrowded, loud places. I’ve never been to a concert in my life.”
Further, he highlighted that, apart from not partying much, he didn’t enjoy growing up in crowded places and hanging out with a lot of people. But now that the time has changed, he has gotten himself adjusted to the new scenario of being an extrovert.
On the contrary, the 2023 US Open champion is known for his outgoing nature, not only as an athlete but as a person, even around his loved ones. He is just a staying-in person. But do you know that even his parents believe that he carries more of an extrovert personality?
