Novak Djokovic seen in discomfort, given pills by doctor before losing opening set at Paris Masters

Novak Djokovic seemingly saw the back-to-back nature of his matches at the Paris Masters get the better of him, with the World No.1 seen in discomfort against Tallon Griekspoor.

Djokovic called a doctor and received some pills after losing the opening set to the Dutch ace. But it seemed to do the trick.

He went on to win the second set in a tiebreak and is now going into the deciding set favourite to win the contest.

Tennis fans believed that it was the typical Djokovic mind games and others said that the media would be quick now to point out doping like with the magic potion which went round over the past year.

But whatever was prescribed to him by the doctor, it seemed to have helped him at least avert a shock defeat for now.
