what? He’s always been very skinny, by far the skinniest out of the big 3. My gf even noted he was a twig during Wimbledon

Obviously I'm joking about Hulk but he has definitely put on some muscle. He is in fantastic physical shape. It's been noticeable this year, even with his shirt on.

He had looked in very good shape past few years
Either way with his style no need to carry around extra weight when you're stretching for shots

What always cracks me up is those useless people on any big player's team watching their man perform some random lateral jumps and studying their every move with a pondering face as if they were important and their couching invaluable.Nole preparing for Tokyo in Montenegro. Becoming hulk now?

He's much better now than a couple years ago. In 2018 he was about 10 kg/20 lb underweight

He definitely has the body of a long-distance athlete.

If you look at extant hunter-gatherer groups in places like the Amazon and PNG, you'll see that the body-type of Djokovic and Federer is the more "natural" human look.

Too many people here don't understand the difference between skinny and lean. Djokovic is lean and one of the fittest people on the planet. Someone that's skinny can be out of shape with a higher than average fat percentageDjokovic is NOT skinny now, this isn't the definition of skinny
He ain't my guy but these are goals for someone who's 34 years old brehs

Many people (in general) don't seem to understand the difference between curvy and overweight either.

Djokovic probably couldn’t even bench 180lbs. Tennis players should aspire to get a body like Nadal or Fuscovics

Djokovic is gear'd up
Lower weight - slower drop in legs' agility than Nadal - longer peak results.
Now due to different playing style he will not be able ro push it to 38 like Federer, but it will be over before he is 38.
Why?

He looks it, but he is very strong. I saw a video of him running up steps with a guy on his back.

Yeah, Novak’s training regimen is clearly not working out for him…

It's lean and sinewy which is the "natural" human look.
Novak really has a classic "hunter gatherer" physique.

If you limit carbs, it's almost impossible to hold onto fat of any kind; hence the emaciated appearance of Nole! That was a big deal a decade ago which turned his life and career around, eliminating gluten from his diet and dealing with breathing issues! He took example of Ivan Lendl to new heights of conditioning! From the end of 2010 where Djokovic won Davis Cup singlehandedly for Serbia, he's been a machine; working very closely with trainers, doctors, and other experts to get the maximum effort needed to overcome the records and adoration of Fedal! It'll get harder for the naysayers since Nole's not only equaled their Major's count, he already has a significant H2H lead on both players; esp. vs Federer! Nadal got fat on a lot of clay match encounters, but did have significant HC victories at USO years ago! Djokovic finally returned the favor at 2021 FO, arguably elevating him to GOAT status! Taking Wimbledon (channel slam) was just icing on the cake without any real competition to thwart his CYGS goal! I was hoping he'd skip Tokyo; esp. since 50+ people running the Games have been found to be infected by Covid already!

Nadal could take a leaf out of his book and lose some weight. All that muscle Nadal is carrying is not helping him at 35 years old to win slams.

I think Nalbandian & Ferrer suffered from the same misconceptions! I always thought they just looked horrible in the clothes they wore; mostly ill-fitting or baggie! I think I was a bit like that; the barrel chest makes the shirt stand out a bit even if slim-waisted! Stan was part of ESPN Mag. "Naked Issue," & was as fit as any person I've ever seen!

That's a poor picture and no idea when it was taken. This is at AO this year:Point to where on his body Nadal should lose weight/muscle please
Arms that size are unnecessary at his age. His movement has slowed as he's aged and dropping a few pounds would not hurt. People were commenting many times this year that he looked fat.

I thought Tenys Sandgren was overweight too because he wears baggy clothes and has a stocky look. I saw a picture of him without his shirt on and he is ripped with six pack abs like Wawrinka.
Related to the OP, Djokovic looks like he did a lot more weight training to develop his upper body during the extended time off last year. I wonder if that is part of why his serve seems bigger these days as his technique itself doesn’t seem that different from 2019, but maybe he has increased his racquet head speed (RHS).

Idiots were commenting that he looked fat lol. The same people who call Stan fat.
It's just amazing that you think he has big arms. You're an ignoramus. Nadal has moderately sized arms that look "big" to the uninitiated because he's lean and vascular. The dead giveaway for Nadal not having big arms at all is that his left bicep is bigger than his triceps. Anyone who lifts for any kind fo size will have a triceps that is much bigger than his bicep. You're fooled by the fact that he is lean and has a good amount of separation between his bicep and forearm which is just genetics. And you're the one using convenient photos. Nadal has no muscle or weight to lose:
