Novak Djokovic is either a superhero in disguise or a warlock. In a very unique Instagram post, he seems to be harnessing the power of lightning to assist him in Rome.

Unfortunately, his secret powers couldn't help him against Alexander Zverev in the final on Sunday. The Serb lost in straight sets, 6-4, 6-3. When he had to face hot shots like this, no amount of rituals would have helped.

While this wasn't the optimal outcome, Djokovic announced some big news, saying he will play the French Open with Andre Agassi as his new coach.
