Want to roll like the world's top men's tennis player? Start by drinking loads of warm water all day long, as well as shakes made with pea protein concentrate. Avoid dairy and stay away from alcohol during tournaments. Eat lots of avocados, cashew butter and very little sugar. Banish caffeine, other than the occasional energy gel bar before matches. Be sure to get seven to eight hours of sleep a night, meditate, do plenty of yoga and tai chi, take melatonin supplements, hook yourself up to a biofeedback machine that measures your stress level and, when you have a free moment or two, keep a diary. Feel free to unwind with a cup of warm licorice tea.
In the book, Djokovic reveals one of his heretofore unknown obsessions: manuka honey from New Zealand. This expensive and tasty variety of honey comes from bees that feed on New Zealand's manuka trees—a dense-branched genus of shrub that can thrive in soil so depleted of nutrients that little else grows in it. "The first thing I do out of bed is to drink a tall glass of room-temperature water," Djokovic writes in "Serve to Win," which is scheduled for release by Zinc Ink, an imprint of Random House, on Aug. 20. "The second thing I do might really surprise you: I eat two spoonfuls of honey. Every day." He says he also eats it during matches.
