Tennis player stands on chair to give giant opponent a hug
“After I won, I was going to the net to have a handshake and then I look at him and he’s going back to get a chair,” Karlovic said (via ATP). “I didn’t know what he was going to do and then he arrives and he gives me a hug, which was unbelievable and hilarious. Obviously he needed a hug, so I hugged him back.
“He’s a really nice guy and I like him a lot. It was funny.”
Sela, who has lost to the Croatian for a second straight week, said that the two are good friends and that he “always wanted to hug him.”
“I saw the chair and I thought it would be nice to finish the match like this with a hug, so the crowd will see it’s okay,” said Sela, who also noted that he was still shorter than his opponent with the chair.
