Novak Djokovic was taking in the glory after his first-round win at the Italian Open, signing souvenirs for fans when something extremely concerning happened. As he was taking time to sign fans’ stuff, a metal water bottle seemed to be dropped by someone in the stands. The bottle flew right into Djokovic’s head, causing him visible pain instantaneously.
Novak Djokovic was seen clutching his head as he knelt on the ground in pain for a prolonged period. It indicated that the hit may have caused some serious issues like a concussion.
Officials rushed to his aid, unsure of what happened and what they could do to help. His exact state remains unclear as no official announcement seems to have been made yet. Reports suggest that he has been transported to a medical center where he is dealing with nausea and headaches, but is feeling alright.
