Ubaldo Scanagatta has made quite a name for himself during the Australian Open after two comical pressroom moments have gone viral.

First, he fell asleep momentarily during Rafael Nadal’s first-round press conference, blaming jet lag. The Spaniard was not shy about calling the veteran journalist out.

At the end of the fortnight, Scanagatta was again a source of lightness in the pressroom, when Novak Djokovic made fun of his accent and unique way of asking questions.

Djokovic, in great spirits after beating Nadal for the title, just couldn’t help himself.

Scanagatta, the man behind Ubi Tennis, has covered more than 145 Grand Slams, while Djokovic just won his 15th.
