Tennis star Novak Djokovic tested positive for the coronavirus after an exhibition series in Croatia and Serbia.
Tennis star Novak Djokovic tested positive for the coronavirus on Tuesday. This comes after the No. 1 ranked tennis player in the world organized and played in an exhibition series in Croatia and Serbia. He is the fourth player who participated in the matches to test positive for COVID-19, according to the "The moment we arrived in Belgrade we went to be tested," Dojokovic said in a statement.
No social distancing measures were enforced during the Adria Tour matches in Croatia and Serbia that Djokovic helped organize, even though players from all over the world traveled to participate in the events. Last week, videos surfaced of Djokovic and several European tennis stars, including Coric and Dimitrov, partying at a Serbian nightclub just days before Dimitrov confirmed that he tested positive for the coronavirus.
Before testing positive for COVID-19, Djokovic had recently spoken out against the"extreme" coronavirus guidelines the US Open is putting in place ahead of the New York tournament in August.
