Taylor Fritz and his girlfriend, Morgan Riddle, recently tried out Novak Djokovic’s new secret drink.

For context, on the day the Australian Open began, Serbian legend Novak Djokovic launched SILA, a sports drink brand, in collaboration with Waterdrop. The product has been advertised to have electrolyte hydration cubes in three flavors: grapefruit, lemon, and watermelon.

Taylor Fritz, who is sponsored by Waterdrop, said that the product was Novak Djokovic’s secret drink in a video shared by his girlfriend Morgan Riddle, where she tried the drink for the first time. The former World No. 5 added that the Serbian has been using the sports drink since the beginning of the Australian Open.

 This is supposed to be what [Novak Djokovic] actually uses for his on-court drinks. It’s what I’ve been using.
Fritz was heard saying in the video.

To which, Fritz’s girlfriend revealed that the drink is Djokovic’s secret sauce, and he has been taking it on-court since 2022.

Apparently, this is exactly what Novak (drinks). This is a secret sauce that Novak’s been putting in his drink. So, I’m gonna trying it for the first time.  Okay, so if I drink this, I’ll be like Novak
Morgan Riddle added.
Sure.
Fritz replied.

After both had taken the drink, Riddle indicated that it tasted like grapefruit, while Taylor didn’t say anything. Taylor, who ended last season without a title in the Asian swing, would be looking for a good turn of fate as he heads into the fourth round of the Australian Open.

Taylor Fritz heads into the fourth round of the Australian Open

World No. 12 Taylor Fritz has advanced to the fourth round of the Australian Open following his five-set victory against Hungarian Fabian Marozsan 3-6, 6-4, 6-3, 6-2 in Melbourne Park.

After a surprisingly sluggish start from the American, it was a clinical comeback that fired down the Hungarian.

Fritz won 79 percent of the first serve points in the last three sets. The 26-year-old also made an impressive 53 winners to 24 unforced errors, while his opponent made 48 errors after his first set lead, which crushed his hopes.

The only fault of Fritz was his inability to capitalize on break points. Out of the 23 break-point opportunities, the American converted only six. Taylor Fritz would face No. 7 seed Stefanos Tsitsipas in the round of 16 after the Greek defeated Frenchman Luca Van Assche earlier.

In the second and third rounds, Taylor Fritz defeated Argentinian Diaz Acosta 4-6, 6-3, 3-6, 6-2, 6-4, and Hugo Gaston 6-0, 6-3, 6-1, respectively.
