NEGREANU LOVES:

MASSAGE MUSIC
‘In the early levels of a tournament, I’m literally listening to massage music. The ocean, birds chirping – I’m dead serious. Later, when it’s time to start moving, I’ll throw in some hardcore Missy Elliott, hip-hop and Bob Marley.’

TENNIS
He’s newly enamoured with the sport after hooking up with Roddick in Melbourne while he was over for the Aussie Millions. ‘Andy Roddick got us some seats and it was just awesome.’

NEGREANU HATES:
