- Novak Djokovic reveals his green 'energy disc'
- He says the device has helped him cure several ailments
Novak Djokovic has presented an 'energy album' that he claims has cured him of different ailments throughout his spectacular career.
The Serbian superstar hopes to turn back the clock and become the first tennis player to win 25 major singles titles with a victory at the Australian Open.
Djokovic, chasing a record 11th title in Melbourne, has revealed that a green puck he carries everywhere will help him stay in good health during the tournament.
“It's (an) energetic disk (that) creates an electromagnetic field around it and (the) kind of secret is in this pattern,” he told GQ magazine.
“And then when you put it on a certain part of your body, put it on that part, for example, if you have stomach problems, which I often have when I'm nervous, stressed before the game or indigestion problems, that generates heat.” . .
'Then it starts to improve metabolic functions or reduce inflammation in a certain part of the body.
Novak Djokovic (pictured) unveiled an 'energy record' that he says has cured him of ailments throughout his storied career.
'A doctor I know in Serbia, who is also an engineer, created this record for me and I have a lot of those and I carry them everywhere.
'When I fly on a plane, I put it on (my) head or somewhere. You shouldn't have it on your body parts for too long, so 20 to 30 minutes does its job.'
Unorthodox is the word that corresponds to Djokovic and his various beliefs, from the water pyramid to a temple that keeps him calm, or the Bosnian mountain that he respects.
Djokovic is undoubtedly one of the best tennis players of all time, but his energetic record did not convince fans.
Respected Brisbane-based physiotherapist Brian Seeney, known on social media as NRL Physio, shared the clip with the caption: “Take me now, I've seen it all.”
Another fan responded: 'But wait, there's more! If you call within the next 60 seconds, we'll give you a box of left-handed screwdrivers and a pack of sky hooks…'
A third X user said: 'Seriously. “I can’t believe he actually believes this.”
However, others were quick to defend the tennis superstar, with one user writing: 'There is tons of research on PEMF. Look it up, it works.'
The Serbian champion hopes to become the first tennis player to win 25 major singles titles with a victory at the Australian Open.
It comes after Djokovic's claims that he was poisoned by lead when he was detained in Australia before being deported in 2022.
Then Immigration Minister Alex Hawke infamously denied Djokovic entry into the country three years ago because he was not fully vaccinated.
Djokovic was detained at Melbourne's Park Hotel for five days while he contested the decision before being sent home.
In an interview with GQ ahead of this year's Australian Open, the 24-time Grand Slam champion alleged he had been stoned during his hotel stay.
'I had some health problems. And I realized that in that hotel in Melbourne they fed me food that poisoned me,” Djokovic said.
'I had some discoveries when I returned to Serbia. I never said this to anyone publicly, but I found out that I had a very high level of heavy metal. Heavy metals. I had lead, very high level of lead and mercury.
Asked if he believed it came from food, Djokovic replied: “That's the only way.”
A spokesperson for Australia's Department of Home Affairs told GQ: “For privacy reasons, the Department cannot comment on individual cases.”
