Novak Djokovic reveals what he ate before the Wimbledon final against Roger Federer

Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic have faced each other 50 times in their career, with the Serbian champion having emerged victorious on 27 occasions. Unforgettable the aforementioned final of the Wimbledon Championships of the past season, in which Federer was unable to convert two match points on his service. There have been rumors doing the rounds that Djokovic does not consume anything before big matches. "It's interesting," Novak Djokovic said during his appearance on the "Wish & Go" podcast. "I almost talked about autophagy. When people say autophagy, they mean starvation, that's not the case. It's like eating at a certain time, and when you're not eating, you're consuming fluids. Basically, I don't eat much before matches." He talked about the 2019 Wimbledon final against Roger Federer: "I don't take like some four eggs with bacon in the morning! Since the final was at 2 pm, I was mostly on fluids and snacks like I do before matches. For example, sweet potatoes, boiled vegetables without spices, give me a little energy, with some fruit, oatmeal, I eat as much as I feel I need. And of course, a lot of fluids, vitamin drinks that give me energy. That's me; for someone else, I know he likes to be full, but tennis is different from some other sports. That match lasted almost five hours." World number 1 also revealed that he likes to have dates, bananas, water and energy drinks during matches. Source: TennisWorldUSA
