Novak Djokovic lost the ATP Paris final on Sunday, losing to Patrick Mouratoglou’s apprentice Holger Run.

The Dane defeated Nole in 3 sets 3-6, 6-3 and 7-5 at the end of the match, which lasted more than two and a half hours. A spectator present at the arena filmed an awkward moment in Djokovic’s camp, which soon went viral.

After a controversial moment at Wimbledon 2022, when the former ATP leader was caught inhaling the contents of a pumpkin, Djokovic stepped back into the public eye in the Paris final against Holger Rohn.

The moment when Djokovic’s staff hides the drink he prepared for the Serb

One of the spectators present in the arena caught on camera at least a strange moment, when the Serb’s employees were preparing a bottle of water, into which he mixed something like a substance.

When the staff member noticed he was being filmed, he asked his colleagues to stand in front of the camera so he could finish his drink, which the ball boy later handed to Novak Djokovic.

“Every player has their own little tricks to ensure optimal hydration during matches.” – wrote those from lefigaro.fr.

In most cases, tennis players have two bottles next to their chair: one with water and the other with energy. These substances (which usually contain sodium, calcium, potassium and magnesium) are very useful at the muscle level.

Novak Djokovic has embarked on a rather complex diet that forces his body to digest as little as possible, and these aspects have caused mixed reactions at the international level.
