Can anyone who knows tennis explain what is going on here, and why it’s being done this way? It looks amazingly dodgy.

I would very much like to know what was in this bottle. It certainly wasn’t liquid, and he gestured to his coach before inhaling it. Very odd.

The lack of curiosity about this from the tennis media is astonishing. He literally told a room full of journalists he was taking “a magic potion” during Wimbledon, and they just fell about laughing.

This seems wild. Not sure many other elite-level sportsmen would be allowed to remain so secretive about the contents of “magic potions” they were seen inhaling mid competition. Very, very strange.

@Holymourinho He will talk when he is ready to talk. This whole nonsense about making people speak about something they are not ready because OTHERS are unpatient is absurd. Sit a bit in silence. Mind yourself more. Not everything you see is controversial. It could be private. Is that allowed?

In dealing with Gary Lineker, BBC boss Tim Davie must channel Eric Ten Haag when he canned primadonna Ronaldo for flouting the rules the rest of the team had to observe. @piersmorgan , surely you can see the parallel?

@NHoultCricket Lovely bloke. Played a match with him post retirement - he the celeb star turn. Delighted to catch him on the boundary. Chatted afterwards. Out of blue he gave me his entire kit bag. I’m a lifetime number 11. 15 years ago now. Still use it all with deep pride every time I play.

@jelenadjokovic @NDjokofan No. Not at all. I just asked why there was such need for secrecy regarding the contents of the drink, and said it looked dodgy. Because it does look dodgy - which is why so many people have watched the video. Can you not see that?
