In a humorous moment at Indian Wells, top stars were asked about their dream player for mixed doubles, leading to amusing responses. In a video shared on the Indian Wells social media accounts, it was predominantly WTA players who participated, with many choosing Rafael Nadal as their ideal mixed doubles partner. Notable mentions included Iga Swiatek, Coco Gauff, Angelique Kerber, and Jessica Pegula.
Djokovic’s amusing misunderstanding at Indian Wells added a light-hearted moment to the event, as he initially misinterpreted the question before realizing it was about mixed doubles. While it’s unclear if Djokovic and Nadal will partner in mixed doubles before they retire, it’s certainly an intriguing possibility given their individual talents and the excitement it would generate among fans.
