In the video that generated controversy, it is seen how the members of Djokovic’s team prepare a drink in the stands.

The girl goes to the position of the tennis player in her chair and hands her the object.

The journalist Damian Reilly was the one who spread the images along with a comment that generated an intense debate: “Can someone who understands tennis explain what is happening here and why they do it this way? looks incredibly weird”.

This question generated mixed responses: some accused Djokovic of using substances that are not allowed, while the Serb’s fans argued that no one would do anything illegal in the public eye and that it is an ordinary isotonic drink, like the ones all athletes take to rehydrate.
