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.

On a day that saw Alexander Zverev become the fourth top-10 seeded player to be eliminated from the men's draw, Novak Djokovic kept his cool to earn a 6-1 6-7 (7-9) 6-2 6-2 win
