Novak Djokovic Struck in Head by Water Bottle After Italian Open Match

Novak Djokovic was accidentally struck in the head by a fan’s water bottle following his match against Corentin Moutet at the Italian Open

Following the incident, tournament organizers released a statement sharing that the athlete “underwent appropriate medication and has already left the Foro Italico to return to his hotel” and noted that “his condition is not a cause for concern.” During the US Open in September 2020, the player inadvertently hit a lineswoman with a tennis ball and was subsequently disqualified during a fourth-round match against Spain’s Pablo Carreno Busta. Andy Roddick and Serena Williams are just two tennis stars who’ve made headlines for their high-profile romances — and celebrity hook ups — in addition to their athletic abilities.
