Serbian tennis great Novak Djokovic is having a great run in the Paris Masters. The 35-year-old is yet to lose a match after his quarterfinal exit at the Roland Garros. Further, the legend has clinched titles at Wimbledon Championships followed by Tel Aviv and Astana Open. 

Continuing his stellar form, the Serb has made it to the finals of the ATP Paris Masters. In an intense semifinal, the 35-year-old defeated Greek tennis star Stefanos Tsitsipas in straight sets. While the game was a nail-biter, a certain something that happened on the court raised many eyebrows.

Fans accuse Novak Djokovic of consuming something suspicious

In a video clip from last night’s semifinal match between Tsitsipas and Djokovic, we can see Djokovic’s trainer Ulises Badio mixing something in a drink for Djokovic. Later, the 35-year-old drank it. Surprisingly, Djokovic made a strong return in a game he had almost lost.

Now, people on social media are claiming it to be a magic drink. A few have raised a suspicion of it being a banned substance. Here’s how fans reacted on Twitter.

The truth about the video can only be confirmed after a thorough inquiry. Although it’s true that Djokovic turned the game in the latter half of the match. However, this was not the first time he did it, and claiming that a magic drink brought about the change is too far-fetched at the moment.
