Goran Ivanisevic , current coach of Novak Djokovic , confirmed that he tested positive for Covid-19, just two days after the announcement of the ATP number one. The Croatian coach, 48, said he felt "good" and "without symptoms", although he will continue with the isolation that had already begun. His case joins those of Borna Coric , Viktor Troicki and Grigor Dimitrov , who participated together with the winner of 17 'majors' in the recent Adria Tour.

"After two negative tests in the last 10 days, I have tested positive," said the 2001 Wimbledon champion, while wishing "a quick recovery for all infected." The left-hander, a mass idol in Croatia, was in charge of announcing the cancellation of the friendly tournament last Sunday in Zadar.

His compatriot Coric, number 33 in the ranking, also wanted to calm down the spirits assuring that he did not suffer symptoms of the disease. "I am extremely grateful to be well," said the Davis Cup champion in 2018 through his social networks.

"For no reason"

During the last days, criticism against Djokovic, organizer of the aforementioned exhibition tournament, had taken place, where the sanitary rules were not respected at any time. However, late on Thursday, 'Nole' found a notorious ally in Nemanja Matic , a Manchester United footballer.

"The mice came out of their den to criticize the cat and the way it behaves in relation to others," said the Serbian midfielder in an open letter published by the media in his country. "But I do not care, because very soon the cat will return to the tracks and the mice to their holes," Matic continued, clearly referring to the tennis player in Belgrade.

"It bothers me that Novak is forced to apologize to the mice that criticize him for no reason. Soon they will have to apologize," said the former Benfica and Chelsea player, among others.
