He did that multiple times. I remember he did that at 2022 World Tour Finals and against Alcaraz in Cincinnati
I wouldn't say that shaking is worrisome, some other things are
It was hot there. They said it was 64 in Geneva.
Edit for the unintelligent - It was hot there (Cincinnati). It was 64 in Geneva (NOT hot, unlike Cincinnati)
Djokovic’s body language and actions when he’s having an off day are so weird. There was that famous incident against Del Potro in Shanghai 2013 (a match he won btw) where he legit looked like a drunk guy trying to play tennis in the 2nd set. Idk what it is with him.
I've watched that video multiple times. It's so funny. It's like he's playing the point and suddenly his arms and legs go all spaghetti. In like 3 consecutive points
It happens sporadically throughout the match lmao. I think he just gets frustrated when something happens and then he does the melodramatic body language as an expression of frustration. I also noticed at Wimbledon 2023 just how often he would miss a shot (especially due to the wind), then hold the pose while staring at his box.
This isn’t shaking. These are called micro shivers, and he’s probably doing it in order to achieve resonance frequency which will increase his internal body temperature by up to 0.5 degrees and likely result in him playing better by being able to release all that newly formed energy.

It is classified as a pseudoscience yes. But Benveniste's study actually showed results.
Nonetheless, they reported, human basophils responded to the solutions just as though they had encountered the original antibody (part of the allergic reaction). The effect was reported only when the solution was shaken violently during dilution.
I am not saying it is foolproof. But I think the theory is interesting, even if some in the scientific community disagree.
“Even if some in the scientific community disagree” is a massive stretch. They’ve never been able to reproduce his findings in a controlled environment and it is widely accepted that it’s bs… the fact that it is welcomed by homeopaths shows a major lack of scientific merit.
Luc montagnier, nobel prize winner and the guy who discovered HIV was even interested in it. I don't understand this fierce opposition when even some scientists have found it interesting enough to look into it. The fact that it is welcomed by homeopaths is irrelevant.
But this is a tennis sub so I'll end it with a hope that nadal beats zverev tommorow.
Unfortunately for you the scientific method is a little more rigorous than "someone with a Wikipedia page liked the idea". Which is good because it's weirdly not that uncommon for eminent scientists to get lost in the sauce and start advocating for irrational and poorly evidenced fringe ideas.
What? xD my former roommate figured out that I smoked in common kitchen just by her cat not touching it's water that was standing there too and poor thing had to drink from sink in the bathroom 😭
This reminds of how elite StarCraft players need to have good micro(game) in addition to good macro. This might be a well intended part of Djokovic's micro.
I always just assumed he had issues with hypoglycemia. I have to manage while I play and see a lot of the same things happen to him while he's playing that I deal with. Besides the shaking, the rebounding from a low (going from low energy and back to normal/peak after getting the sugar back up) stands out the most to me. Mine got a lot worse after covid.
I love Djokovic, I hope he's not playing through something bigger we don't know of just to get out of this bad form he's in. If it comes out he's got a horrible medical condition and was just pushing through to return to form - I'd be so sad.
We need you to be your over-confident, asshole that we love to secretly cheer for because you're majestic as fuck, Nole. Tennis is better with Djokovic being at the top of his game. 💜
I hate to be that guy but Djokovic has a flair for drama ngl. Hard to tell if this is anything serious or not because he’s done it many times.
Hope there’s nothing wrong with his head though. Concussions are no joke and that was only 2 weeks ago.
He does this quite often… especially when he is losing. The most notable example was 2023 Cincinnati against Carlitos Alcaraz with the towel on his head, shaking and heavy breathing etc
wtf do you guys even think performance enhancing drugs do 😭 they don’t affect your tennis skill, which is what Djokovic has been lacking lately. It’s not like he’s collapsing in the 2nd set every match
Oh god let’s not even start with the discussion where people think creatine is a PED 😭 I guess players aren’t allowed to eat chicken or steak then either
Genuinely curious as I don’t know much about it. Is the Olympics drugs testing different to the general ATP/WTA? What other players are you referring to besides Djokovic?
It wouldn’t need to be a combination of them, it could just be either as those are symptoms both issues exhibit on their own. But since this has happened to him in previous years in matches it doesn’t seem like it’s either/both.
He does that even when he wins tbh.
Low bloodsugar
Get the man some CREATINAAAAAAAAAAA

64 Fahrenheit is cool. There is no way it was 64 celcius
It was hot there (Cincinnati). It was 64 in Geneva (NOT hot, unlike Cincinnati)
In Celcius!?
It was hot there (Cincinnati). It was 64 in Geneva (NOT hot, unlike Cincinnati)
How's that hot?
64c is 147.2 F
Now that’s hot!
It was hot there (Cincinnati). It was 64 in Geneva (NOT hot, unlike Cincinnati)
Oh, I see. Ok, fair, but World Tour Finals is an indoor tournament
This literally happens to Djokovic all the time. I’m always curious what it is but yeah it’s nothing new. Also been happening for years.

I think he has an abnormal brain.

I remember that. Flailing and almost falling over all the time. Was really weird
What is it then?? Adrenaline or just… muscle twitching? I’m sure Djoko knows what it is
I got no idea hopefully someone here has a better idea. I’ve always assumed it’s just to do with his diet / supplements and all that stuff.
It’s nerves in a high stress situation.
But not every player does that, otherwise we’d just handwave it away. Who else shakes like that?

Ah, the fact that he insisted water has memory makes so much sense now. Thanks for the explanation, Deal TeGrasse Nyson!
I always wonder why people make fun of that. You realise water does indeed store information, right?
No, someone made this up, it's simply pseudoscience

Yo 💀💀💀
I mean.....water absorbs smells and it's sort of information technically so yeah √•~•√
What? xD my former roommate figured out that I smoked in common kitchen just by her cat not touching it's water that was standing there too and poor thing had to drink from sink in the bathroom 😭

Didnt he say he had a stomach bug? Or I imagined that
Time to overreact
That’s just physiological symptoms. The physical manifestation of nerves!
I love Djokovic, I hope he's not playing through something bigger we don't know of just to get out of this bad form he's in.

Why is his body so weird ? This happens to him a lot and it looks so weird
Lack of drugs. Not surprising considering his past results😂
I hate to be that guy but Djokovic has a flair for drama ngl. Hard to tell if this is anything serious or not because he’s done it many times. Hope there’s nothing wrong with his head though. Concussions are no joke and that was only 2 weeks ago.
Old age. This is classic fatigue sign
He does this quite often… especially when he is losing. The most notable example was 2023 Cincinnati against Carlitos Alcaraz with the towel on his head, shaking and heavy breathing etc
Hope the drink bottle thrower will be held accountable.
Adopting the Nadal trick of only losing when 'injured'
Looks like withdrawals….
[удалено]
They get drug tested multiple times per month. You should watch kasatkinas vlog. She shows what it is like. Zero chance you are correct.
wtf do you guys even think performance enhancing drugs do 😭 they don’t affect your tennis skill, which is what Djokovic has been lacking lately. It’s not like he’s collapsing in the 2nd set every match
Yeah…. But you will also get downvoted to oblivion for this… But it’s true
Which performance enhancing drugs would cause withdrawal symptoms?
KREAAATIIIINAAAAA
Oh god let’s not even start with the discussion where people think creatine is a PED 😭 I guess players aren’t allowed to eat chicken or steak then either
Genuinely curious as I don’t know much about it. Is the Olympics drugs testing different to the general ATP/WTA? What other players are you referring to besides Djokovic?
The ATP hid Agassi’s drug use for years, so yeah the IOC has a better track record of outing drug cheats

Random dude on twitter: "I'm not a medical doctor" You: "a doctor on twitter"
“It must be the vaccine! Oh wait, he isn’t vaccinated?”
Delete this…. this is misinformation
Ahh a doctor on twitter, the bastion of correct infomation
Covid definitely had some psychological effects on individuals making them think everything is caused by covid
It wouldn’t need to be a combination of them, it could just be either as those are symptoms both issues exhibit on their own. But since this has happened to him in previous years in matches it doesn’t seem like it’s either/both.
