Alexander Zverev hilariously let the TNT crew play for a chance to keep his $300K roulette watch
The world's No. 3 ranked tennis player Alexander Zverev started his pursuit of a first French Open title with an easy straight-set win over American Learner Tien on Tuesday. It was the kind of win that had Zverev in a great mood. So much so that he was willing to put his $300,000 watch up to chance. Zverev joined TNT's on-site set at Roland-Garros for a post-match interview. And in the middle of the discussion, TNT's Adam Lefkoe said he was having trouble focusing because he was so fascinated by Zverev's watch. That watch was a Jacob & Co. Casino Tourbillon, which has a miniature (and fully functional) roulette wheel on the dial base, and goes for $300,000. Impressive, to say the least — even if all those numbers could make for a disorienting time-telling experience. But to Lefkoe's shock, Zverev asked the crew to choose numbers for the chance to keep the watch.
