The frequency is dominated by Serbian Novak Djokovic, the world number one tennis and recovering from the new Corona virus, about whether or not he will participate in the US Open, according to what he indicated today in an interview with the Serbian sports newspaper "Sportsky Journal".
"I don't know if I'm going to the tournament. Of course I'm not going to play in Washington, and Cincinnati remains in my plans," said Djokovic, who previously criticized the strict hygiene measures to be adopted in New York.
Djokovic announced on July 2 that he recovered with his wife, Yelena, from the "Covid-19" virus, after he caught the infection during his participation in the "Adria Tour" charity course he organized in the Balkans last month.
Flushing Meadows will be the first among the major championships after the resumption of the professional season, whose competitions were suspended in March due to "Covid-19", and it starts on August 31 behind closed doors.
"The Joker" restored his exercises on Tuesday, announcing that he will run part of the season on dirt lands. "My participation in Roland Garros is confirmed, Madrid and Rome are also on my agenda," he said.
He considered that the new rating system for players due to be approved next August is "correct", after the matches resumed after a five-month hiatus due to the global spread of the virus.
Djokovic announced on June 23 that he had contracted the virus, to three other players who participated in the tournament in Belgrade are Bulgarian Gregor Dimitrov (19 internationals), Croatian Borna Churic (33) and Serbian Viktor Troitsky (184). Then it was announced that a former Croatian star Goran Ivanishevich, the director of one of the rounds and one of Djokovic's coaches, was injured.
Social distance was not respected in the tournament, which brought Djokovic and the close organizing team close to criticism, especially from behind the Atlantic and Australian player Nick Kairius, which prompted him to apologize severely to those affected by her stay. But the champion of the 17th major championship saw his critically acclaimed witch hunt.
"I only finally see criticism, most of it malicious. It is clear that there is more to criticism, as if there was an agenda, someone had to fall, a personality, a big name that should be the victim of everything."
