Novak Djokovic is always experimenting with alternative methods unknown to the masses to try to keep his physique in shape and to extend the sporting vision of his body.

If you remember, at the last French Open, the Serbian champion had a red button under his t-shirt capable of emitting wavelengths of therapeutic light; a theme that has come up again on the eve of the Australian Open 2025.

Nole will play his first round against the American Nishesh Basavareddy: just in the previous days, the 24-time Slam champion explained the characteristics of this remedy, as even on the eve of the Happy Slam – this time – a green button was visible

Nole explained that the method was devised by a Serbian doctor – who is also an engineer – who created it specifically for him.

“It’s an energy disc that creates an electromagnetic field around itself. When you put it on a certain part of your body, like when you have stomach issues, which I often do when I’m nervous or stressed before a game, or indigestion, it creates heat.

Then it starts to improve metabolic functions or reduce inflammation in certain parts of the body. I have a lot of them and I carry them with me all the time. When I fly on a plane, I put it on my head or somewhere. I’m not supposed to keep it on parts of the body for too long, but for 20-30 minutes it does its job,” he explained in a lengthy interview with GQ.

During the same interview with GQ Italia, Nole wanted to clarify everything about the words he had spent on Jannik Sinner, and to silence any criticism.

“I saw on social media that there was some sort of drama or case, as if I had humiliated him or intentionally shown contempt towards him. It’s ridiculous. It was one of those quizzes where you have to think of something in a second. Sinner’s name came up and I had this image in my head of him skiing, because I saw him skiing somewhere. Also, he and I always talk about skiing, about how we will ski together.

That’s why I said skiing, not because I don’t respect his results in tennis, on the contrary. It’s clear as day that the way he is dominating deserves every praise, both for his style of play and for the level of play. He has all the characteristics I’ve mentioned in others, and now people make it seem like I’m despising him. It’s all nonsense,” he explained.
