Moments After Shocking Us Open Win, Roger Federer’s 21YO Compatriot Goes Against the Very Fabric of Being Swiss With a Staggering Admission

Picture this: a tennis court where each move can change the game’s history. Now, add a twist: a fascinating Swiss story where two different paths to success collide. A certain unexpected clash at the 2023 US Open involves something very Swiss: chocolate.

Dominic Stricker, the Swiss player who recently beat Greek star Stefanos Tsitsipas at the second round of the US Open 2023, is doing something unusual for a Swiss person: he’s avoiding chocolate. This unique choice seems to be his way to achieve success on the court.

Stricker’s no chocolate, all triumph strategy

Dominic Stricker’s victory is not just about mastering the court; it’s also about mastering his own choices. In a recent interview after his remarkable win, Stricker unveiled his unconventional approach to achieving peak performance.

When asked about his transformation, he candidly stated, “Yeah, I don’t think there was a big turning point, but I just realized that it’s maybe going to help me for these long matches like the one today. Now it’s just great to see if I changed it not, like, crazy, but a bit to eat less sugar, less chocolate, all that stuff”.

His decision to cut down on sugar, including the famous Swiss chocolate, has paid off. Stricker played an intense four-hour match at a very high level. Though Stricker’s views on chocolate are polar opposite to his legendary compatriot, Roger Federer, the comparisons between the legend and the rookie are already being made.

Roger Federer’s sweet tooth

While Stricker is avoiding chocolate, another Swiss tennis star, Roger Federer, has a different story to tell. He loves chocolates of all kinds and doesn’t hide it. In an interview with the New York Times, he happily talked about his sweet tooth. He used to like white chocolate the most, but then he started enjoying darker ones too. When he’s back home, he reortedly looks forward to eating a Swiss nut tart called Bündner Nusstorte.

With a grin, Federer shared his post-match cravings for a traditional Swiss nut tart, Bündner Nusstorte, which he indulges in when back home. He playfully remarked, “I mean, chocolate, hello, you have to love chocolate if you’re Swiss. I used to be white, then I was milk, and now I even like going dark. I like it all.”

The Swiss tennis scene now has two interesting stories: Stricker’s path to success by making smart choices, and Federer’s love for sweet treats. Stricker’s win shows that changing habits can lead to victory. On the other hand, Federer’s fondness for chocolate and traditional Swiss sweets adds a human touch to the story.
