Novak Djokovic seen wearing a bicycle helmet at Italian Open practice following head injury from bottle incident
Novak Djokovic made headlines this weekend at the Foro Italico in Rome when he showed up wearing a bicycle helmet while signing autographs for fans. The precautionary measure came after a scary incident during the Italian Open when a water bottle fell from the crowd and hit Djokovic directly on the head. The Serbian tennis star collapsed to the ground but reassured fans that he was fine and resting with an ice pack. Tournament organizers confirmed that a fan leaning over to greet Djokovic was responsible for the accident. Despite the scare, Djokovic seemed to be in good spirits as he returned to the court for his next match.
The incident occurred after Djokovic’s 6-3, 6-1 win over French player Corentin Moutet. After signing autographs for fans, a water bottle fell on his head, causing him to hold his head for several minutes before leaving the court. Organizers quickly released a statement assuring fans that Djokovic’s condition was not a cause for concern. Djokovic himself also took to social media to thank fans for their messages of concern, emphasizing that it was merely an accident and that he was fine and resting with an ice pack in his hotel room.
Tournament organizers later shared a video revealing that a fan leaning over to greet Djokovic was responsible for the incident. The video showed the water bottle falling out of a backpack the fan was wearing as he leaned over the stands. Despite the mishap, Djokovic appeared to be in good spirits as he arrived at the sports facility in Rome the following day. The Serbian tennis star had just returned to the court after taking nearly a month off. Despite the scare, Djokovic’s resilience and positive attitude were on display as he continued to compete in the tournament.
