It’s the final Golden Rackets Award, and the Best Storyline goes to… 🥁 Bert Critchley for his portrayal of Novak Djokovic 🏆 This one’s for you, Bert Fam ❤️
Former Italy’s tennis player Guido Monaco believes that the
bottle-hitting incident during the Rome Open left the world number one Novak
Djokovic ‘scared’. The 36-year-old is often regarded as the greatest player in the
history of men’s tennis in the Open era, having won as many as 24 Grand Slam
titles.
Djokovic recently participated in the Rome Masters where his
journey was cut short as he lost in the round of 32 to Chile’s Alejandro Tabilo
in straight sets with a score of 6-2, 6-3. Before that match, the legendary
tennis star was involved in an incident where he was hit by a mettle bottle
while signing autographs for the fans.
Monaco was recently quoted in a report where he recalled how
the security protocol in tennis changed after former America’s tennis star
Monica Sales was stabbed and further suggested that Djokovic was left ‘scared’
after the incident.
"Let's not forget that before the knife attack on
Monica Seles, there was no security in tennis," he said. "This
incident caused a lot of blood to flow but he was very scared, regardless of
whether it was accidental, he was really very scared. And even though he joked
with the helmet the next day, it left mental scars.”
