After the match of the last match won against Moutet at the Internazionali in Rome, the world number one tennis champion Novak Djokovic was hit on the head with a water bottle while he was signing autographs for some fans. According to what has been reconstructed so far, it would be an accident: it seems that the water bottle fell from the backpack of a person who had tried to lean out from the stands to receive the Serbian athlete’s autograph. Djokovic suffered a minor head injury and lost some blood. However, he was promptly transported to the facility’s medical center for treatment and his condition is not serious. The champion reported a slight nausea, but the doctors did not express great concern for his situation and confirmed that he is fine. This was also confirmed by the Management of the Italian Internationals, which reported in a note: «Djokovic was hit on the head by a water bottle while leaving the Central Court at the end of his match while he was signing autographs for the spectators. He has been subjected to the necessary medications, he has already left the Foro Italico to return to the hotel, his condition does not cause concern.” The scene of the incident was filmed by those present. In a video circulating on social media, Djokovic can be seen collapsing on the ground with his hands at the back of his head after being hit by the water bottle.
