BRITISH wildcard Jan Choinski is through to the second round of Wimbledon after beating Dusan Lajovic.
And the ripped star is fuelling his dream of playing hero Novak Djokovic by scoffing 5,500 calories per DAY.
Speaking to Muscle and Health, Choinski revealed he’s eating as much food as the World’s Strongest Man Mitchell Hooper.
But it’s all vital fuel for the tank, with the world No164 requiring an extraordinary amount of grub to get through intense training sessions and matches.
Choinski, 27, is starring at Wimbledon for the first time in his career.
The German-born ace beat Lajovic, ranked world No56, in a four-set thriller on Court 17.

And like his hero Djokovic, Chionski is reaping the benefits of cutting back on gluten and dairy.
In total, the 6ft4in behemoth devours 5,500 calories each day.
That’s the same amount as weight-lifting giants like top strongman Hooper, as well as beefy Wolverine actor Hugh Jackman and 24-stone Philadelphia Eagles NFL star Lane Johnson.
Chionski told Muscle and Health: “I’m training really hard to make my dreams come true.
“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.”
On his dreams of facing Djokovic, Chionski added: “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.
