Good news regarding the Novak Djokovic water bottle situation.

Many assumed it had been thrown, but a specific video angle made it clear that the water bottle had fallen out of a fan’s backpack and hit Djokovic in the head.
Djokovic did receive medical treatment, but is apparently fine following the incident.
He posted on X acknowledging that it was an accident and he will be ready for his match against Alejandro Tabilo in the round of 32.
Thank you for the messages of concern. This was an accident and I am fine resting at the hotel with an ice pack. See you all on Sunday. #IBI24
Djokovic is seeded first in the Italian Open as he prepares for the French Open which starts May 20.
