A little background info


Djokovic was convinced to switch to this diet, which is gluten-free, after a doctor suggested the Serbian star has food allergies.

In 2010, Djokovic met with Dr. Igor Cetojevic, a Bosnian Serb, who believed Djokovic's frequent physical breakdowns in matches were the result of a wheat allergy, Borden wrote.

According to Borden, Cetojevic told Djokovic to put one hand against his stomach while holding the other straight out with his palm up. Cetojevic pushed down on this hand and told Djokovic to resist the pressure, which Djokovic easily did.


Cetojevic then told Djokovic to do the same thing while holding a piece of bread against his stomach, Borden reported. This time, Cetojevic easily pushed Djokovic's hand down.

"He was clearly weaker," Cetojevic told Borden. "It showed that his body was resisting the wheat."
