INDIAN WELLS, CALIF.—Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer may meet in the final here at the BNP Paribas Open, but there’s no question they’ve been on their games in the interview room. The tournament has a more relaxed atmosphere than any of the other majors and most of the other Masters, and that can translate into more thoughtful ruminations from the pros in their pressers—provided they’re winning, of course. Federer and Djokovic have been winning, and talking, for the last week. Here’s a look at a few of the highlights from their interviews. At times, the progressive Djokovic and the traditionalist Federer seem to offer competing visions for the sport.
