In a world of tennis where youngsters tend to dominate, there’s one player who defies the odds and amazes us all with his incredible athleticism and relentless spirit. In the ATP Tour, he is none other than Novak Djokovic, the Serbian legend who seems to age like a fine wine that gets better every year.

Tennis legend Jimmy Connors recently expressed his admiration for Djokovic’s incredible athleticism on his podcast “Advantage Connors.” Recognizing the challenges of staying competitive at an age when most players retire but Djokovic seems unstoppable, except for the Wimbledon 2023 speedbump. Connors firmly believes in the adage ‘never count Djokovic out’.

Connors, a living legend himself, knows a thing or two about the challenges of staying competitive as the years go by. In his podcast Connors said “I look at that also, and I don’t ever want to count a guy like Djokovic out, right, you know, because of what it means to him, what he’s continuing to look to do, you know, so you always gotta, you know, keep that in your mind, even though he’s playing against guys that are, you know, 12, 14 years younger,” Connors stated emphatically during the podcast as if urging all tennis fans to share his unwavering faith in Djokovic’s abilities.

As everyone admires Djokovic’s amazing skills on the tennis court, not many realize that his off-court discipline is a key factor in his ongoing success. Behind Djokovic’s on-court wizardry lies a strict dedication to a well-balanced diet and a carefully crafted fitness routine.

Djokovic’s unyielding fitness regimen

Early in his career, Djokovic faced health issues in championships, feeling fatigued and experiencing blackouts. The mystery was finally solved in 2011 when he discovered he was allergic to wheat. Guided by his nutritionist, Djokovic made the life-changing decision to eliminate gluten from his diet and never looked back.

Djokovic currently eats primarily a gluten and dairy free diet, focusing on vegetables, beans, white meat, fish, fruits, nuts, seeds, chickpeas, legumes and healthy oils according to his book “Serve To Win, The 14-Day Gluten-Free Plan For Physical And Mental Excellence”. He also believes in balancing carbohydrates and protein well, which gives him the energy and stamina needed for intense training sessions and tough matches on the tennis court.

While many athletes go for protein-rich foods, Djokovic’s balanced diet helps convert excess calories into muscle mass, ensuring he remains agile and powerful on court.

Watching Djokovic’s outstanding performances on the court, we can all take inspiration from his dedication to fitness and nutritious eating. The decisions players make outside the game can have a profound impact on their performance, helping them to remain at the top and leave a lasting legacy in their sport, just as good wine gets better with age
