Novak Djokovic is currently in Japan where he will try to conquer an elusive gold medal. The last time that the Serbian sensation was in Japan he had a rather unique experience.
Novak was invited to practice some sumo and the result was quite spectacular.
Novak commented:
“I felt I’m out of shape a little bit … with a few more kilos, I’ll be ready to compete. Probably three times as much as I have right now would be the right measurement for me to compete.
It’s quite impressive to see also how flexible they are. I didn’t think that they were that flexible considering it’s a heavyweight sport.
But I see that they are paying a lot of attention to the mobility of their joints which is of course what allows them to move around as agile as possible at their weight.”
Novak will start his Olympic campaign against Hugo Dellien in Tokyo, The projection is Novak winning in straight sets.
