The Serbian had been signing autographs on Friday after his second-round win over Corentin Moutet when a metal bottle fell out of a fan’s backpack and directly on his head. After the initial blood and nausea, Djokovic said he had felt fine on Saturday as he returned to training, even entering the practice court jokingly wearing a helmet. On Sunday, though, he said he felt like a 'different player' as he was defeated 6-2, 6-3 by Chile’s Alejandro Tabilo, the 29th seed.

it is called concussion.
I remember watching this matching thinking what on earth is wrong with Novak? Not knowing about a flask hitting his head. No wonder he was not with it, I knew someone who hit their head and lost memory , just cm away and maybe nothing, our skull is so vulnerable . I hope Novaks not got any lasting issues…
According to the reports it was said he was checked medically and was fine to play his next match.
I would think you got hit in the head with a metal bottle, some sort of scan is necessary.He wasn't given proper medical advice.
Not agreeing thats why he lost though.🤔
Has anyone checked on the water bottle? Hopefully, it can still be used again.
Ur mo…m can never be used again bro.
That water bottle would be preserved as the most important thing, (only thing which might/will affect Novak's performance)
Funny
Don't yoos like Novak?
It had no effect. It makes for a useful excuse though.
Shut up. He’s the best in the world and has no reason to make excuses.
@@sa35915 🙂😇
Except when he lose
Really? Please show me the evidence you found to prove this. Unless of course you're just making up BS.
@sa35915 not best in the world in 2024.
Sadly, I have not watched the match but I saw the highlights. Tabilo foreheand was pretty strong, backhand too. It looks like that was the reason for Djokovic to lose in straight sets.
PS Novak, hit your head on the other side maybe “the old player” will return.
Poor guy. Wish you all the best Djokovic👃
Hopefully you will be in RG.
Bit hard to believe that drew any blood at all, didn't look like it....
Most absurd excuse of all time.
why
So absurd that a concussion can have an effect in a professional sports competition
НОВАК🥰
He was faking.
Some of these comments are maddening, Novak never had any break chances, this was one of the worst he's ever played so this is likely not just regular decline or lack of motivation, something was off, probably a concussion contributed to loss. Novak is no the type of player to lose this decidely unless there's something serious. Give the GOAT more respect!
No body is denying anything lol. His excuse for the loss is laughable. Instead of giving credit to his opponent for playing well he’s being a drama 🫅, prima donna. He was assessed for concussion and was fit to play, if he really didn’t feel like 100%, he could have withdrawn from the match. After losing the match he just throwing excuses. The hard part for most of us to digest is how someone who is a 🐐 at this level in men’s tennis is acting this way with no maturity or sense of real appreciation for his opponent!
@@ssds86 says ; little mouse from planet Mars!
The comment section just shows there’s a lot of trash among commentators.
Does the bottle seem empty only to me? It was really bouncy off of his head and the stands
@Random76544 how do you know its metal?
Maybe no mood to play
What a baby he is. Guy cannot stand losing, worst loser ever
🤣🤣🤣🤑🤑🤑
A hit to the head can affect your coordination. I’ve experienced that myself before. I think it is not fair to assume that he is making it up.
Having a concussion is being a baby ??????
Are you jealous of his achievements?
Says the person hating in the comments😂
Das war geplant 👍 Wenn man ihn so nicht stoppen kann, wirft man mit Metallflaschen, egal er gewinnt die French Open 🏆
Get better soon Novak!
He always has excuses for his loses. He has not played for a while and is not match fit mentally or physically but ok blame the bottle instead 😂
😂😂😂
He's gotta be joking-any five year old would brush that off quickly. Nausea? Dizziness? Blood? Please spare us the drama, no excuses.
It was a hydro flask
He isn’t a loser like you to make up excuses.
Dude it was a hydro flask. If you hit a 5 ear old with that they are going to the ER.
It was a flask however it is the plastic lid hitting, not the metal
Those things are heavy being dropped from 6-7’ above. It could definitely knock you out.
Looks like novak did a soccer dive . He’s always a great sport when he wins .
Pathetic from Djokovic.
He seemed to be playing alright. Tabilo was just a better player.
Playing alright? Lol you clearly have watched him play before
Of course Tabilo was a better player because Novak played terrible (not "alright" as you put it)
He can never just give his opponent their dues when he loses. He always has an excuse, says he played really badly etc The bottle fell out of a bag, wasn't even thrown
Never ever would he do that. Never. No class
Never ???!!! Not really, check out ALL his interviews after all his loses.
@@TNmountainguy 🤣🤣🤣
@@SreeramReddyB Envious people, hilarious...not to worry...
I love Djoko, but he does love an excuse for losing. Admittedly he is not 100% fit mentally and physically which is going to effect his performance , but he will do literally everything he can to take away from his opponents performance.
That bottle is now worth thousands of dollars lol
That water bottle could end his career 💦🤣
Why is this funny?
crovak😭😭😭
Would hate to see what a light breeze might do to him.
This could injure anyone so I'm not sure what you're getting at? Especially if the bottle is full which must have been the case here.
In this video, it looked like a very strong impact. It's hard to tell.
@@Mystic-H Um, no. Sorry, nothing is going to make me drop to the floor in the fetal position. That was the most ludicrously wimpy thing I've ever seen.
@@therealking6202never judge, you might be in a situation that you would want compassion from people, not ignorance
@@SG-uj8tj Sure. From random people on RUclips. Lol... Sorry bud, there's no way on this earth that I would drop to the fetal position for this. This was a pansy, wimpy move no matter how you want to put it. Would it hurt? Of course. Would I need to sit down? Maybe. But NEVER would I drop down and curl up like a little baby like this. This was literally childlike. I'd be extremely embarrassed.
He really brought that up during his loss press conference. Way to hit a new low.
He BROUGHT it UP, because the journalist ASKED about it. You're just a hater, you can't help it. Grow up.
Yeah put a dandelion in your mouth, mate.
It's astonishing how much easier is for him to "praise" a bottle more than an opponent (btw.. blood? 🙄 😒)
Are you sure you've heard the whole of the press conference? Because, you really sound like an ignoramus drawing conclusions based on less than two minutes of the whole thing.
Since 2020, Novak's 8 Grand Slam finals wins (including US Open 2023) are against players who all put together have just one Slam win. Imagine this - 7 youngsters across 4 years, together having just 1 GS win at the time of losing to Novak.
That’s what happens when you promote Waterdrop. But, sadly
His joke
Imao, a pro athlete whining over a little hit. He should watch road cycling where folks keep racing bleeding from all limbs. Djok is such a crybaby. I`d like to watch him playing rugby))
You guys are gonna see a lot more of excuses like this in the coming tournaments.
Lucky he is playing tennis and not a real mans sport. Went down so easy
Your mama went down easy too !
He should blame his poor performance instead of making excuses.
What a baby.
It was just a little bottle. All of us has worst injuries, it's no a excuse. The other one just was better....
i got hit by a car and i was ok....
@@tednguyen7258 you are not! obviously
haha....true that......
Bella scusa....inventatene un' altra...
