Novak Djokovic’s Wife Jelena Shuts Down a Fan Over ‘Magic Potion’ Controversy at ATP Paris Masters – ‘He Will Talk When He Is Ready’

Novak Djokovic, the 21-time Grand Slam champion, is one of the few players on the ATP Tour who is almost constantly embroiled in at least one controversy. Earlier this year, it was his stance on vaccination that got him deported from Australia and later ruined his chance of participating in the US Open. Now, he seems to have gotten himself into another controversy. Recently, during his semifinal match in the Paris Masters, his team was captured on video, mixing a ‘secret’ ingredient in his drink.

Now, as a response to the entire incident, people are getting suspicious about the substance that was mixed in his drink. They have raised questions and were not so satisfied with his clarification of it being a magic potion. Here’s what his wife had to say about the same.

“Sit a bit in silence. Mind yourself more. Not everything you see is controversial. It could be private. Is that allowed?” Djokovic defeated the Greek former World no.3 Stefanos Tsitsipas in sets of 6-2 3-6  7-6(4) and advanced to the finals. However, in the finals, he failed to get the better of the Danish young blood Holger Rune and lost the chance to bag his 91st ATP singles title.

Djokovic’s ATP Finals qualification

The 35-year-old has qualified for the Nitto ATP Finals of this season. He, because of his Wimbledon Championships victory, received a pass to the tournament. Djokovic will join the Australian Open and French Open champion Rafael Nadal and other top players in the season-ending tournament.

However, the issue with this arrangement is that every other player who performed well on the grass-courts of London is suffering the consequence of the tournament’s decision to ban Russian and Belarusian professionals this year. In fact, the runner-up Nick Kyrgios also didn’t receive any compensation.
