Djokovic became another tennis player who was diagnosed with a COVID-19 coronavirus infection after participating in a demo tournament in the Balkans.
“NORTH. Djokovic has been screened for the COVID-19 virus,” his representatives said in a statement.
“He has no symptoms,” added the athlete.
It is true that the coronavirus did not overlook Novel’s wife, Jelena, either, but here her son Stephen and daughter Tara tested negative.
The final of the Adria Tour between the world’s first racket, Serbian Djokovic and Russian Andrei Rublev, due to take place on Sunday in Zadar, Croatia, was canceled shortly before the start when the other three participants, Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov, 29 years, they were diagnosed with coronavirus (ATP 19), the Croatian Borne Chorić, 23 years old (ATP 33) and the Serbian Viktor Troicki, 34 years old (ATP 184).
Incidentally, the most capable Lithuanian tennis player, Ričardas Berankis (ATP-72), 30, met the latter exactly a week ago in Belgrade. 16 min. victory celebrated 6: 3, 6: 3. Before that, V. Troickis also fought with N. Djokovic.
It should be noted that during the aforementioned tournament, the players did not avoid contact not only with their fellow tennis players, but also with journalists and spectators, even several thousand of them were admitted to the matches.
N. Djokovic, who organized the Adria Tour himself, publicly apologized to everyone who had suffered when the tournament became the focus of the coronavirus.
“We organize the tournament believing that the virus has already weakened and that the conditions for organizing the competition are appropriate. Unfortunately, the virus is still active and that is the new reality. We will have to learn to fight and live with it. I apologize for each individual infection that occurred in the tournament. I hope that nobody’s health situation is complicated and that everyone recovers. I will isolate myself for the next 14 days and after 5 days I will perform a new test, “said Novakas.
