Novak Djokovic’s wife defends star over mysterious ‘magic potion’ – “Nothing dodgy”

Novak Djokovic’s wife has vehemently defended his team after footage emerged of a mysterious drink being made for him during his semi-final win over Stefanos Tsitsipas at the Paris Masters on Saturday.

Many tennis fans were left confused after footage was shown on social media of Djokovic’s physio Ulises Badio mixing him a drink in the stands, with members of his team appearing to shield him.

The footage has done the rounds on social media, leading to many questions after being watched over 15 million times on Twitter, but Djokovic’s wife – Jelena – has defended the incident in Paris.

Djokovic previously dubbed a similar drink ‘magic potion’ when he was spotted inhaling powder from a bottle at Wimbledon.

After being questioned by a journalist on the matter on Twitter, Jelena replied: “I don’t see anything dodgy.

“In fact, I see people trying to be private about their business in a world where everyone feels like they have every right to point camera at you whenever they want. Apparently, wanting/trying to be private makes you dodgy nowadays.”
