Novak Djokovic: The Diet That Conquered Tennis

[Tor Nado]

Since the current professional men's season began last year, Serbian tennis phenom Novak Djokovic
has dominated his sport in a way that is nothing short of astounding.
He has won 57 matches and lost only 2 and has ascended to the number one spot in the world.

Tihi, liker.

Sitat:

Before this season began, Djokovic sat in the number three spot. His tennis was strong and sharp, but he often struggled with breathing problems, what seemed to be an episodic de-conditioning, and a mental attitude that made him prone to frustration and breaking things.

Sitat:

Surely the dietary contribution is nothing more than a placebo.

Hehehe.

Sitat:

Is it possible that, in fact, cutting out carbohydrates made Djokovic into a better athlete? Is it possible that everything we've believed about the importance of loading our muscles with tons of starches is untrue? Is it possible that we can play endlessly taxing endurance sports without jamming ourselves full of pasta and potatoes? And is it possible that we might be better off for it?

It seems that world number 4 Andy Murray thought so. He has adopted the Djokovic diet. How much do you want to bet that others follow. By the way, Murray just became the second person to beat Djokovic this year (although Djokovic did have a shoulder injury and was forced to withdraw after a set). Commentators for the match remarked repeatedly about Murray’s fitness and ability to move around the court. Coincidence?

Sitat:

Is the Djokovic diet phenomenon real? You bet it is.

It's no secret that Djokovic has had a breakout season, or that he has been, by any reasonable standard, the world's best athlete of 2011. On Sunday, he beat Rafael Nadal in the Rome Masters, his fourth-straight win over the Spaniard. It was his second win over Nadal on clay in two weeks, and again, amazingly, he did it without losing a set. The match ran Djokovic's 2011 record to 37-0 with seven titles.
