After circulating a video documenting him inhaling something from a white bottle during his participation in the current Wimbledon tennis tournament, the video commented on the nature of the substance, refusing to reveal details.
During the tournament, the Serbian tennis player was seen inhaling the contents of a white bottle in the middle of matches, sparking much speculation among fans and journalists. In addition to the questions, Novak Djokovic pointed to his coach before inhaling the substance, as if asking him if he inhaled it or not.
Djokovic said the mysterious white bottle he had during Wimbledon 2022 was filled with a “magic potion”. Commenting on this, he said, “It’s a magic potion, that’s all I can say,” and continued, “You’ll all know about it soon, but at the moment, I can’t talk about it.”
I would really like to know What happened in this bottle. It certainly wasn’t liquid, and he pointed to his coach before inhaling it. Very strange. rice.twitter.com/bBG62BOMFh

And the British newspaper The Telegraph reported that the “magic potion” was actually a powder taken by many athletes taking unblended energy supplements. Typically, this water-infused powder quickly replenishes carbohydrate stores when needed to keep energy levels high during intense workouts.
Tennis stars usually drink highly nutritious drinks and snacks in the middle of matches, but it is not known why Djokovic consumes the powder himself. Notably, the 2022 Wimbledon final could be Djokovic’s only chance to win a major tournament this year, with Rafael Nadal winning Roland Garros and the Australian Open as the Serbian is unlikely to appear at the US Open due to refusing to receive a vaccine from coronovirus.
