We love you, Novak.
A new video angle of the incident has now emerged which may indicate that this was just an unfortunate accident and that nothing malicious was intended.
The water bottle appears to slip from a fan’s backpack and then strikes Djokovic in the head.
Djokovic had just easily defeated Corentin Moutet at the Italian Open in the round of 64 on Friday 6-3, 6-1.
Seeded first in the tournament, it is unclear at this time if Djokovic will be able to continue.
If he can, he is scheduled to take on Alejandro Tabilo on Saturday in the round of 32.
