Tennis players need to follow a strict diet to always be on top of their game. Serbian tennis legend Novak Djokovic is already known to be a stalwart in the field, who maintained a great fitness and dietary regime. Much like Djokovic, the Italian tennis star and the world’s number-one player, Jannik Sinner also expressed a huge dedication to his lifestyle.

Previously Sinner spoke about his diet plans before the semi-finals of the Miami Open in 2021. He mentioned how a little snack in the evening doesn’t hurt the fitness requirement of the players. Now he impressed his fans by revealing a Djokovic-like focus on his health and fitness.

Recently, in an interview, Sinner candidly opened up about being structured and focused on maintaining his health. That is why he chose to limit his celebratory moments in between the hectic schedules of tournaments. Sinner said– “Right now I’m 100% careful about it. For example: on Sunday I played the final, the next day I flew to Italy and the following morning I immediately went to the gym. I didn’t celebrate excessively, I didn’t drink, because it’s not good for the body. We went to eat something and then I went back to the hotel.”

Previously, Sinner explained his dietary habits to the fans. He mentioned- “Honestly, for me, it’s not important so much what I am eating. I am just trying to somehow, when I have to eat carbohydrates or protein, just trying being in like the biggest or easiest food. It’s very simple. It’s not that if I am going to eat dessert in the evening, I am going to lose the match the day after. That’s for sure not what we think. A dessert in the evening, I’m always eating.”
