Novak Djokovic received medical treatment after being struck on the head by a bottle while attempting to sign autographs following his opening win at the Italian Open in Rome.
Djokovic, the top seed, reached the third round with a 6-3, 6-1 win over Corentin Moutet of France. After completing his on-court interview, Djokovic approached fans by the entrance to the court and began signing memorabilia. After Djokovic signed a cap and ticket, a large metal bottle fell at speed on to Djokovic’s head. The Serb fell to the ground, where he remained for around 40 seconds before he was guided away by security guards.
