Novak Djokovic confesses he’s had ‘plenty of chocolate’ since beating Rafael Nadal in 2012 Australian Open final

A lot of chocolate has been consumed by Novak Djokovic since

he defeated Rafael Nadal in the Australian Open final in 2012.

The World No. 1 continued his flawless start to the 2024 season and

his first United Cup campaign Down Under on Tuesday,

January 2, defeating Lehecka in three sets.

The Serb’s game faltered after leading 6-1, 3-1,

and Lehecka won the set in a tiebreak to force a decisive.

But after a medical break, which Djokovic claimed was not critical,

regular operations were resumed. In just over two hours on RAC Arena,

he won with just one set lost.

Known for maintaining a strict diet,

Novak Djokovic admitted at his post-match news conference that

he hasn’t tasted chocolates since defeating Rafael Nadal in a thrilling five-set Australian Open final in 2012.

“Obviously, I did,” he grinned. Yes, I did notice that article making the rounds on social media.

While that is true, it doesn’t always mean that I always decline a whole chocolate or dessert after a victory.

I genuinely make an effort to savour the dessert.

I could say that I have a sweet tooth. However, I have consumed a lot of chocolate ever since.”

The 36-year-old continued by saying that he and his Serbian teammates had enjoyed a

“full chocolate debauch” the night before, which included four vegan desserts:

“Last night,” he stated. Yes, two guys in the back of the room are verifying that I am telling the truth.

We had maybe four desserts, though they were vegan.”

On Wednesday, January 3, Serbia plays Australia’s Alex de Minaur in a

United Cup quarterfinal match between Novak Djokovic and him.
