00:00 Novak Djokovic says he felt hampered by the after effects of being hit on the head by
00:06 a bottle as he fell to a shock Italian Open defeat to Alejandro Tobio.
00:12 The world number one was accidentally struck by the bottle after he signed autographs following
00:16 his second round win over Corentin Mute.
00:19 He struggled to find any rhythm against Tobio with the Chilean, needing just 67 minutes
00:25 to win the third round match 6-2, 6-3.
00:28 The 36-year-old had lost only once before to an opponent outside the top ten in the
00:33 Italian Open where he had never gone out before the quarter finals.
00:38 Djokovic will remain 1,090 points ahead of Yannick Sinner before the year's second Grand
00:42 Slam begins on May 26th.
00:45 But it will be shaky ground he's on defending 2,000 points in Paris and winning the title
00:50 may not be enough for him to stay on top.
