Casper Ruud made the most of a slow evening in Basel, treating fans to a rousing Q&A as the world No. 3 sat in traffic en route to the Swiss Indoors event.

“I’m ready for some questions before the traffic clears,” tweeted Ruud, inviting a stampede of queries in the replies.

Some fans stuck to tennis, asking about Dominic Thiem’s resurgence.

“Love watching him play!!” Ruud answered, likely keeping up with the Austrian’s impressive run in Antwerp.

Others ventured into other sports, leading the Norwegian to shout out the Liverpool FC and the NHL.

One fan asked the question on everyone’s mind, throwing it back to Ruud’s vintage bleach blonde hairstyle and asking whether the Ken Doll look is coming back.

Ruud went deep on the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Dawn FM, the Weeknd’s latest album, gave travel tips for those visiting Norway, and even ranked his favorite berries.

But much as Ruud has tried to show off a lighter side in the wake of a career-best season—one that featured a first Masters 1000 final in Miami and two Grand Slam final appearances at Roland Garros and the US Open—the earnestly serious young man couldn’t help but jump out when asked where he’d most like to teleport:

The traffic died down after about 30 minutes and so too did Ruud’s answers as motion sickness set in, but the 23-year-old promised more Q&As in the future.

Get your questions ready, girlies!
