Andy Murray Is Following A Gluten Free Diet

Andy Murray World No 3 feels the benefits of following a gluten free diet.

“It definitely helps,” Murray said. “I slept probably seven-and-a-half hours after playing singles and doubles the day before and woke up feeling fine and obviously started the match well today, too, so that’s one of the benefits of doing the diet, taking it seriously: I’ve felt much more energetic.

“Mentally, I feel very fresh. I think I’ve paced myself through the year pretty well but physically I feel fine. I wake up in the morning and I feel okay. A lot of it could be down to diet but also the work I do in the gym and the way I’ve gone through the year.”

No. 1 seed Djokovic, and now No. 3 seed Murray are finding the benefits an advantage.”
