World No. 1 Novak Djokovic has been the best player this season by far. He has done something not many have been able to execute, winning the first three Grand Slam titles of the season. The Serb is all set to make it four out of four this year. 

Recently, Novak Djokovic’s wife, Jelena Djokovic provided an insight as to how he conducts himself on a daily basis. She revealed that her husband is very committed to his daily routine and it is one of the reasons why he is so successful.

The 35-year-old spoke on this subject and stated, “Novak is getting up every day and going through his routines that I like to call rituals. They are his firm foundation for the day, the energy for the day. Sleep, prayers, stretching, water intake, food, family time – there is no skipping of any of it. That’s how his day is fueled and that’s a good energy that feeds his purpose.”
