Djokovic now, a year after winning the only Slam he didn't have, openly talked about the obviously hot topic.

On the question of "Novosti" , what would he say to those who would like to look at his plate, the second tennis player answered:

- I don't want to comment on that, since its totally ridiculous. People who are not informed enough make the conclusions without the basis. I hear even that My wife forbids me to eat meat? She eats it herself, she is pregnant now.

He then pretty negatively answered a direct question whether he is still vegan.

- No! Diet is just based on plants, and i eat food and wish as sources of proteins. Not to go into details, but there are lot of sources of protein in plant diet, even though many know only about the meat, which is "unavoidable" food in our culture. In August 2016 i decided not to eat meat. I have my reasons, Ethical and health reasons. I don't want to go back to meat nor to succumb to the pressure - said Novak in an extensive interview for "Novosti".

Lets remind you that Djokovic family opened Vegan restaurant in Monte Carlo last year.
