Djokovic is the fourth player to be tested positive. Earlier, the Croatian Borna Coric, the Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov and the Serb Viktor Troicki had tested positive.

The tournament - the Adria Summer Tour organized by the brothers Novak and Djordje Djokovic in the Balkans - consisted of a number of demonstration matches on gravel in Serbia and Croatia and played in front of thousands of spectators, which received criticism.

“Stupid to move on with the tournament. This is what happens when you disregard all protocols. This is not a joke, "Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios wrote on Twitter.

In his statement, Djokovic defends the tournament.

“Everything we have done over the past month we did with a pure heart and good intentions. Our tournament was meant to unite and to send a message of solidarity and compassion to this region. "

The tournament final between Djokovic and Russian Andrej Rubljov was canceled after it became known that Dimitrov was infected.
