In tennis, in order to perform at your best and for as long as possible, eating and drinking well is crucial. In an interview with The Guardian, the world no. 6 Grigor Dimitrov, who recently became the ambassador for the ice-cream brand Häagen-Dazs, revealed something interesting about his lifestyle. 'I’ve worked with a nutritionist for about four years and she has been amazingly relaxed.
I presumed that she was going to be really strict and tell me to eat 20 grams of this and five nuts here, but she just sets a rough pattern and we alter it every few months based on a blood test,'
Dimitrov said. 'So, if I’m iron deficient, we’ll increase the broccoli, for instance, but it’s not regimented.As long as I don’t overindulge, it’s OK for me to eat burgers and ice-cream occasionally. As for alcohol? I’ve never tried it.'
Dimitrov is a hard-worker, that's why he struggles at taking breaks. 'I’m terrible at relaxing and holidays.For me, a day off is going to the gym. I could never just lie on the beach and read a book. If I had more free time, I’d go to race tracks or a motorcycle camp. My time off is so limited that I always want to do things that I haven’t done, but maybe that will change when my tennis career ends.
Perhaps I’ll go crazy for a year and then everything will go quiet at last.'
He had a poor year so far, reaching just one final in Rotterdam. However, between Cincinnati and London Atp Finals, he needs to defend 2,500 points.ALSO READ: 'Roger Federer is going to sell menswear,' Pat Cash
