Wolf, whose incredible left-handed forehand against Tsitsipas in the Miami Open made headlines, recalled the 2012 Australian Open final between Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic when asked about his all-time favorite contest.
"I don't remember which year it was - but the Djokovic-Rafa Australian Open final. It was the one when he started cramping up in the trophy ceremony - Rafa," the American said.
After nearly six hours of grueling action, Djokovic came out on top in an epic-five set contest that's widely regarded as the greatest final of all tine. The two players struggled to remain standing during the trophy presentation ceremony and were eventually offered chairs by the organizers.
Reminiscing about his formative years as a tennis player, Wolf recalled a match he played as a 10-year-old at the Western and Southern Open in Cincinnati.
"I remember playing at the Western and Southern Open," he said.
"As a 10-year-old, I was very inconsistent, but I don't know why I remember that one," the American added.
"You have to go with Roger Federer" - J.J. Wolf on his favorite player
During the interview, Wolf was asked about who his favorite tennis players were. He mentioned Roger Federer as a player he loved watching while growing up, as well as Americans like Andy Roddick, Sam Querrey and Mardy Fish.
"I mean, you have to go with Roger Federer, I loved watching growing up. Andy Roddick, most of the American guys, Sam Querrey, Mardy Fish, loved watching those guys," he said.
The American, who underwent surgery for a hernia last year, stressed that he would like to play the entire 2022 season, irrespective of the results.
"I don't care about the results, but I want to be on tour the whole year," he said.
Wolf, who achieved a career-high ranking of No. 120 back in 2020 also mentioned that he loves reading.
"I love reading. I dont think people would think I read - but I do," he said.
