World’s #1 Tennis Champion Also a Champion for Animals With New Vegan Restaurant

Published by PETA Staff.

Novak Djokovic isn’t just ranked number one in the world for men’s singles tennis—he’s also a fan of clean eating. After he stopped eating meat last year, he said, “My diet hasn’t just changed my game, it’s changed my life—my wellbeing.”

We wish the plant-powered pro all the luck in the world at this year’s U.S. Open!
