Controversy over a video where they prepared Djokovic a mysterious drink

Novak Djokovic fell this Sunday in the final of the Paris Bercy Masters 1000. The Serbian was overcome (3-6, 6-3, 7-5) by the driving young Holger Rune who, at the age of 19, won the most important title of his career after a difficult match of more than two and a half hours.

The former world number 1 came to the event after a tough semifinal battle against Stefanos Tsitsipas that was resolved in a third set tiebreak (6-2, 3-6, 7-6). The match had a much talked about moment when Djokovic was handed a bottle during one of the breaks.

It is surprising that it should be a member of his team preparing a drink for the player, but what is most disconcerting is the attitude they maintain in doing so.

});

And when they saw someone recording them from the public they got nervous and decided to cover the scene with the body of one of them.. A strange reaction that spread like wildfire through social networks.

We remember that, Already at Wimbledon, Djokovic reached for a bottle from which he did not pretend to drink, but instead breathed, breathed.. In a video he asked his team from the chair if they drank from the bottle now or later.

“This is my magic potion”

The Serbian, who also appeared in the semi-final with Britain’s Cameron Norrie, was asked about the contents of the bottle. He should have expected it, he took it in good will. “This is my magic potion. This is all I can say“, he pointed out. He did not give more details: “Help. Soon you will find out,” he interrupted the topic.

According to British media reports, It may be a new way, not to mix isotonic or recovery powder with liquid, but to eat them directly.
