Novak Djokovic is a fan of Marvel movies, says superheroes "fire my imagination"

Novak Djokovic recently acknowledged his love for the superhero film genre, while also admitting that he never watches any news on the TV. The 33-year-old made these and a few more interesting revelations during a recent interview conducted by Sasa Ozmo.

Novak Djokovic and some of the other participants of the Nitto ATP Finals - including Dominic Thiem - were asked to give a few film and TV recommendations by Ozmo. And the players provided some fascinating responses.

I am really not watching TV almost at all: Novak Djokovic

Novak Djokovic claimed that he uses the television only for watching sport, and that he is not a big fan of shows since he gets all the content he wants on YouTube. The Serb further mentioned that he consciously stays away from news channels, preferring to spend most of his screen time watching movies with his children.

"I am really not watching TV almost at all," Novak Djokovic said. "All the things I am interested in I can find on YouTube. TV is only for sports – I do not watch news at all. I do not know what to suggest – lately I have been watching kid movies with my children."

When his children are not around, Novak Djokovic likes to watch documentaries with his wife Jelena. More interestingly, the duo also enjoy watching big-budget Marvel movies, given the 33-year-old's fondness for the superhero genre.

Marvel movie characters - like Thor, Captain America and Black Panther - help light a spark in Novak Djokovic's imagination with their powerful abilities.

“If they (his kids) are not around, then my wife and I usually watch some good documentaries, but here, yes – we enjoy Marvel movies as well, I am fond of superheroes,” Djokovic continued. “Things they can do that none of us can, it fires my imagination and I enjoy.”

I recommend Formula 1: Drive to Survive to everyone, says Dominic Thiem

Dominic Thiem is a fan of sports documentaries

Much like Novak Djokovic, Dominic Thiem also enjoys watching documentaries. The Austrian revealed that he is a keen follower of the true to life tales from the world of sports.

On being asked for his recommendations, Dominic Thiem was quick to name a recent Formula 1 documentary on Netflix as well as the chronicled saga about legendary German footballer Bastian Schweinsteiger.

Dominic Thiem added that the latter was an emotional watch for him.

“I love sport documentaries obviously, I have seen Formula 1: Drive to Survive on Netflix and I recommend that to everybody,” Thiem said. “Also, the documentary on Bastian Schweinsteiger (German football player) was great, very emotional.”
