Dzumhur and his coach will attack Roland-Garros in civil matters

Damir Dzumhur will not play Roland-Garros this year.

-

This edition of Roland-Garros is already shaping up to be grandiose.

While the tournament, postponed from September 27 to October 11 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, has not yet started, we are already holding the first controversy of the fortnight.

Indeed, according to an info from our colleagues from 

, Damir Dzumhur and his coach, Petar Popovic, will attack the organization of the civil tournament.

The two friends could not digest to see the Bosnian player excluded from the competition after his coach tested positive for the coronavirus.

Impossible according to them since the latter would have already caught the virus at the beginning of July.

Sure of their facts, Dzumhur and Popovic therefore asked to do a second test, convinced that the first should only be a simple false positive.

Request refused by the organizers.

" We will win "

Problem, the duo seemed to be right.

Back home in Serbia, Petar Popovic carried out two new tests which came back negative.

“As I had the coronavirus two and a half months ago, there are antibodies that can sometimes give incorrect results.

It's a scandal and a huge frustration, Popovic told

.

I'm sure we'll win in court, but it hurts a lot.

They will pay dearly.

It is driving me crazy !
