Tennis stars Grigor Dimitrov, Boran Coric, and Victor Troicki had also tested positive. Apart from them, Novak’s fitness coach and Dimitrov’s coach have also received the bad news.
Nick Kyrgios had earlier called out Novak Djokovic and his team for organising the Adria Tour.
“Boneheaded decision to go ahead with the ‘exhibition’,” he said.
“Speedy recovery fellas, but that’s what happens when you disregard all protocols. This is not a joke.”
He also tweeted about it, sarcastically mocking Novak and co. – “Congratulations. Such leadership.
Road ahead for Novak Djokovic, ATP and WTA?
The tennis schedule would likely be torn apart after this news. Players like Djokovic, Coric, and Dimitrov are important to the tennis circuit. If they don’t recover on time, the US and French Open could fall into jeopardy.
There are also calls for Novak to be removed from the Player’s Council. His behavior has been deemed irresponsible by his peers.
