ROMA-. Novak Djokovic needed medical attention after he was apparently hit in the head by a water bottle following his victory Friday at the Italian Open.
A child leaned over the railing to hand Djokovic a notebook to sign when the aluminum bottle fell out of the child’s bag and hit the world’s number one player on the head, organizers confirmed.
Djokovic had a blow to the head and was checked by tournament doctors, organizers said.
The incident occurred shortly after the Serbian’s 6-3, 6-1 first-round victory over Frenchman Corentin Moutet, who was coming off the qualification round.
