Jan Choinski’s climb from 650 to 167 in the world rankings served him up a wild card on home turf this Wimbledon. As he blasted past Dusan Lajovic with a strong 5-7 7-6 (4) 6-2 6-2 win against the world number 56, he gave Muscle and Health an exciting insight into his diet, training and high hopes for victory.
“I am very thankful to Wimbledon and the LTA for their continued support and the opportunity to play at Wimbledon this year.

“My plan is to go into every match being aware of my weapons. I will always maintain a winning mindset.
“It’s been a great three weeks for me on grass, trying to find my game and figure out how the movement differs from clay. I can’t say I’ve played a lot on grass to date, but I’m doing my best to adapt as well as possible. It’s great facing a new surface, because I love a challenge.
“I know nothing is impossible, tennis has shown me that time and time again. The most important thing is to start each tournament strong.
“I’m very athletic, I have a strong and heavy baseline game and a great serve.
“I would love to play Novak Djokovic. He’s an amazing champion and retains a strong and independent mindset, despite widespread media and public criticism surrounding his opinions. Novak always manages to fight back and show unbelievable determination to achieve the impossible.”

Jan’s calorie intake may come as a shock as he reveals a food load equal to that of the World’s Strongest Man, Mitchell Hooper! Back-to-back intense training sessions call for high calories and extra carbs.
“I’m training really hard to make my dreams come true,” he says. “A typical day includes a long warmup with some mobility work and speed training, then we start the first tennis session of around two hours. After that, we’ll break for lunch and do a second gym and tennis session in the afternoon.
“Diet wise, I try to reach a daily goal of 5500 calories. I eat a lot of carbs and keep it healthy. At the moment, I’m trying to reduce my intake of gluten and milk products to see whether it benefits my performance and recovery.”
