"I am fine resting at the hotel with an ice pack": Novak Djokovic provides health update after bottle-hitting incident
ATPSaturday, 11 May 2024 at 13:45
World number one Novak Djokovic has revealed that he is ‘fine’ after the bottle-hitting incident during the Rome Open. 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 is currently taking part in the Rome Open where he won his round of 64 clash against France’s Corentin Moutet in straight sets with a score of 6-3, 6-1. After the match, the reigning world number one signed the players autograph and was headed towards the tunnel when he was hit by a metal bottle. The incident left Djokovic in pain as he was taken away by the security.
The Belgrade-born star, in a post on his official account on the social media platform X — previously known as Twitter — wrote that he is ‘fine’ and that he is taking a rest to prepare for Sunday’s clash. “Thank you for the messages of concern. This was an accident and I am fine resting at the hotel with an ice pack. See you all on Sunday. #IBI24,” he wrote. Djokovic is now set to face Alejandro Tabilo of Chile in the round of 32 clash of the mega-event.

- As for ITIA -- who, or what entity, oversees this untrustworthy organization?? Too many recent cases of suspensions over tests proving minimal stats at best. Neither Iga nor Simona showed even a hint at prolonged use. Sinner, we don't know because the secrecy was extreme. Now we find ITIA flat-out LIED about speaking directly with the manufacturer of the drug in question associated with Iga. Are we to believe ITIA can be trusted? Not according to the past few years of questionable corporate conduct. ITIA can no longer be trusted to fairly regulate nor investigate itself... so who or what will??mandoist06-12-2024
