Yesterday (Sunday), Novak Djokovic recorded his first loss after 20 consecutive victories after succumbing to the 19-year-old Danish prodigy Holger Rona in the final of the Masters tournament in Paris.
Holger beat the joker 6:3, 3:6 and 5:7 and showed that potential lies in him, but unfortunately even when he manages to beat one of the greatest tennis players in the world, the next day Nola still steals the headlines.
Can anyone who knows tennis explain what is going on here, and why it's being done this way?
It looks amazingly dodgy.

The reason?
A video has been circulating on social media for the past two days showing that during Djokovic's victory over Stefanos Tsitsipas in the semi-finals, the Serbian's professional team is seen preparing a drink, while hiding their action and then giving the bottle to a ball girl who brought the "package" to one of the decorated tennis players in the world
Among the people sitting in the area were trainer Goran Ivanisevic and fitness trainer Marko Panicci.
Ben Rothenberg, senior tennis reporter at the New York Times wrote on his Twitter account: "I always thought there should be more transparency regarding the substances used by the tennis players, especially during matches. At the same time, I did not suspect that improper things were done. But in this case the body language She's just weird. What is Djokovic's team trying to hide?"
What arouses suspicion among tennis people around the world is the fact that this is not the first time that Nola has been involved in this type of event.
In the Wimbledon semi-finals he took a similar bottle while playing and after asking his teammates whether to drink the drink or wait, he appeared to inhale it.
"This is my magic potion, that's all I can say," he said then.
It will be interesting to see in the coming days if there will be a reference to the events from the Masters captains.
