Novak Djokovic has been visited twice by a doctor for a stomach issue and given what he called “miracle pills” during a 6-1, 6-7 (7), 6-2, 6-2 victory over Alexandre Muller in Wimbledon’s first round.

Novak Djokovic admitted to feeling his ‘absolute worst’ on court until the doctor’s ‘miracle pills’ restored eased a stomach issue and helped him fight past Alexandre Muller in four sets. The first round clash was delicately poised at one set each when Djokovic asked for the doctor following the third game of the third set.

The 38-year-old tennis legend hopes to keep playing beyond 2025. But younger, challenging rivals are making the all-time major winner look mortal.
