The world number one has been knocked out of the tournament in the third round, losing to 29th seed Alejandro Tabilo of Chile.
Novak Djokovic says he will have medical tests after being struck on the head by a metal water bottle and then suffering a shock exit at the Italian Open. The world number one said how he felt on court on Sunday was 'completely like a different player entered into my shoes. Just no rhythm, no tempo, no balance whatsoever on any shot'. 'It's a bit concerning,' he added.
