Novak Djokovic teases about big announcement – ‘I cannot talk too much about it’
Novak Djokovic of Serbia chats to the media during a press conference
Novak Djokovic has something up his sleeve, but he is keeping his cards close to his chest as the tennis great insisted he will share the news “with everyone in the near future”.
Following his two-set victory over Lorenzo Musetti at the Monte Carlo Masters on Thursday, Djokovic was asked a pretty common question about his training and nutrition during his post-match press conference and he let the cat out of the bag about a big announcement, although he didn’t reveal too much.
A reporter asked the 24-time Grand Slam winner “Can you talk a little bit about your training, your recovery, your nutrition plan?”
Djokovic replied: “I cannot talk too much about it, because I want to save something for myself (smiling).
“There is going to be different ways that I’m going to share that with everyone in the near future. But all I can say is that I have dedicated more than 15 years, a lot of attention to taking care of my body and my mind and it’s paying off. Still, at almost 37 years of age, I’m able to be No 1 in the world and play at the highest level.
“So that’s a kind of a benefit of really the care that I have put in myself primarily but also with my team for 15, 20 years. I’m very grateful that I have managed to realise the importance of that quite early in my career.“I always kind of strategically had a long-term plan in my head to, you know, play as long as possible so I can give my career a better chance to win more, you know, titles and break records and the things that I have been doing actually the last four, five years. You know, I have arguably had the better part of my career post-30 than before 30 (smiling).
“So yeah, that’s definitely due to and thanks to the care and the amount of time that I put in the wellness.”
The world No 1 was likely referring to an upcoming autobiography about nutrition as he admitted earlier this year that plans to release an updated version of “Serve To Win: The 14-day Gluten-free Plan For Physical And Mental Excellence”.
“An autobiography will come. However, before the autobiography, there will be another book that I have already started writing independently, but I will probably need help with all that,” he said.
“It should be a continuation of the book ‘Serve To Win’, it will be about nutrition, recovery, training, so more technical in nature.”
