Novak Djokovic reached the quarterfinals of the 2024 Australian Open in sublime fashion on Sunday (January 21), beating Adrian Mannarino in straight sets.
While Djokovic's tennis has been making waves of late, his new off-court project is also getting noticed. The 24-time Major winner launched his own brand, 'SILA by Novak Djokovic,' last week at the United Cup in Perth, in collaboration with Waterdrop — the ATP's hydration partner.
Offering a blend of nature and science, the company has come out with their line of "Hydration Cubes" that are full of essential vitamins and electrolytes. Novak Djokovic was proud of SILA's vision at the time of its launch, saying (via waterdrop.com):
"The idea to create SILA started more than 10 years ago. I started being more disciplined, passionate and relentless about finding the best ways to improve myself both on and off court. I was so inspired by the overall wellness state I was in and how it was affecting my performance, that I decided to look into creating my own brand that could enrich people's lives the same way it did mine."
On that note, let's answer some questions surrounding the SILA by Novak Djokovic Electrolyte Hydration Cubes.
