The Daily Digest: Pickle Juice for Athletes

Frances Tiafoe attributes his tight four set win in the fourth round of the Australian Open to…pickle juice. He joins other top athletes who have also been spotted drinking the “juice” at breaks during a game. We discuss if this is sports' latest fad and then dissect the science behind it.
