Magic potion for Novak Djokovic? Huge bizarre video excitement from Paris

As of Tuesday morning, nearly 14 million people have already seen the video of Novak Djokovic’s garage, which is causing a stir on social media. To see: initially not much.

Ulises Badio, the Serbian physiotherapist, is initially busy preparing drinks for his office. That he had to work hard against Stefanos Tsitsipas late Saturday afternoon to reach the final of the ATP Masters 1000 event in Paris-Bercy.

But when Novak Djokovic’s team realizes that a viewer – who can’t be seen in the video – has directed the camera at the essentially harmless trial in the box of the 21-time Grand Slam winner, it gets more and more bizarre. On the tip of a member of the team, the two gentlemen who have placed themselves between Badio and the spectator who is resuming the shooting begin to cover the field of view intentionally and in a not very flashy way.

Djokovic: No statement on the bottle video

Then everything happens very quickly: the Badio physiotherapist finalizes the preparation of the drink, but it is no longer possible to tell in detail what is happening in these moments. Moments later, the yellow bottle also enters the field via the ball child – and therefore Novak Djokovic.

The optics: quite bizarre. Exactly what was in the drink and why the preparation was not intended for the viewer’s eyes was unclear.

Does Djokovic clarify the ATP finals?

And it will continue to be so. After the semi-final duel with Tsitsipas, interest in the video had not yet reached the level to warrant a question at the next press conference. And even after the final defeat to a great Holger Rune, there wasn’t even a question.

The next opportunity to clarify will be at the Nitto ATP Finals in a few days. If interest in bizarre imagery hasn’t died out by then.
