What was in that bottle?
Questions have been raised after Novak Djokovic’s team could be seen acting very suspiciously in the players box earlier in the tournament.
A bizarre video of Novak Djokovic’s team preparing a drink has overshadowed the tennis superstar’s shocking loss to a teenager in the final of the Paris Masters. The 19-year-old Holger Rune pulled off the biggest win of his career with a stunning 3-6, 6-3, 7-5 victory over the 21-time grand slam champion.
While the former world No. 1 was waiting during a switchover, his physiotherapist, Ulises Badio, could be seen mixing the player a drink in the stands and then had a ball girl hand the drink to Djokovic.
However, observers were quick to point out that a member of Djokovic’s team moved to block a camera’s view of Badio mixing the drink. It’s still unknown what was in the drink given to the Serbian star.
Djokovic and his team have yet to comment on the situation, which has made fasn even more suspiciosu about what was put in that drink and why his team felt the need to block the view of a camera person.

There is no suggestion Djokovic or his team have broken any rules, but it doesn’t paint them in the best light either.
A similar situation happened at this year’s Wimbledon with Djokovic and a mysterious drink from the stands. When asked about that instance, the Serbian called the drink a “magic potion,” according to Yahoo Sports.
