Dr. James Courier, tennis champion, television interviewer and distinguished expert on human anatomy, interviewed Novak Djokovic after the world No. 1 advanced to the Australian Open semifinals and decided upon nasal respiration as a key topic. In short, Courier asked Djokovic whether he breathes through his nose. Djokovic's response to the odd query earned laughs from the crowd. His player's box was particularly amused, perhaps because his girlfriend, Jelena Ristic, was happy he wasn't talking about running her face through a fat app. Courier's interviewing has earned him his detractors and while I'm not one of them, yeah, this one got off the rails pretty quickly. Good recovery though, Novak.
