FANS are convinced Novak Djokovic is actually the Terminator after spotting his “biggest secret”.
The Serbian superstar, 36, is on the march to a record-equalling eighth Wimbledon singles title and 24th Grand Slam crown.
And he is doing it with a bizarre coin-like item taped to his chest – with another understood to be on his back, too.
Djokovic reveals the device each time he changes his shirt on court – now viewers at home are convinced it proves the metronomic tennis match-winning machine is not human.
One Wimbledon fan said: “I’ve noticed that Djokovic has two small plasters, one in the centre of his chest and one in the centre of his back! So now I'm thinking that he's actually a Terminator, and that's where they plug him in!”
Another wrote: “Is this proof positive that Djokovic is in fact a robot? I'm thinking this is where the batteries slot in?!”

Djokovic was asked about it at Roland Garros last month – but was typically vague as he compared himself to Iron Man and credited it for his victories.
Djokovic, who is known for his pseudo-science beliefs and refused to get the Covid vaccine, said: “When I was a kid I liked Iron Man a lot, so I try to impersonate Iron Man.

“You know, my team delivers an incredibly efficient nanotechnology to help me deliver my best on the court, so that’s the biggest secret of my career.
“If it wasn’t for that, I probably wouldn't be sitting here.”
It looks like Djokovic was wearing a Taopatch, which is a patented wearable nanotechnology device that combines acupuncture with light therapy.
The Italian company Tao Technologies claim the disc converts body heat into “microscopic beams of light” which then allegedly stimulate the central nervous system.
It is also said to improve posture, balance, stamina, movement and recovery and can even help with diseases like multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s.
However, the credibility and authenticity of the Taopatch has come under question.
One former family physician and pseudoscience debunker labelled it as “pure pseudoscientific gibberish” to Forbes while others highlighted the lack of in-depth analysis or data to back up the bold declarations.
