Novak Djokovic was able to celebrate a victory at the tournament in Rome. But signing autographs afterwards ended extremely painfully.

Tennis superstar Novak Djokovic was hit in the head by a drinking bottle after his victory at the Masters 1000 tournament in Rome against Frenchman Corentin Moutet. Videos on social media showed the 36-year-old Serb signing autographs for fans on his way out of the stadium on Friday evening and a bottle falling on his head. The world number one then fell to the ground and grabbed the back of his head. Caregivers accompanied him into the catacombs a short time later.

Djokovic had previously easily won the game against Moutet in the Roman Foro Italico 6:3, 6:1. The 24-time Grand Slam champion moved into the third round, where he will now face Alejandro Tabilo from Chile, the conqueror of Yannick Hanfmann from Karlsruhe.

The tournament released a video showing that Novak Djokovic was hit on the head by accident.

The bottle slipped from a fan’s backpack.

Just a very unfortunate, unlucky situation. ❤️‍🩹

The organizers of the tennis tournament in the Italian capital announced in the evening that Djokovic had been treated with appropriate medication and had already left the Foro Italico to return to his hotel. His condition is not worrying. A statement said that the drinking bottle had probably accidentally fallen on the six-time winner of the tournament and was not thrown at him on purpose.

Szymon Marciniak must have had restless nights since Wednesday. The Polish referee took away FC Bayern’s chance of equalizing with his premature offside whistle in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final at Real Madrid. The German record champions were eliminated with a 2-1 defeat.
