The Adria Tour has been on the front page for months. Novak Djokovic organized the unfortunate event and had to suffer the consequences. Four, including Serbian, tested positive for coronavirus. Now Ivan Ljubicic, Roger Federer’s technician, has expressed his opinion on the matter.
The Adria Tour took place without any precaution. The social distance was not followed and the masks were not mandatory. Djokovic later apologized for the event and said it happened with a good idea in mind.

“The Adria Tour was not a bad idea, however it is clear that things had to be done differently. The lack of attention and indiscipline, the carelessness in the indications and the actions performed outside of tennis were decisive for the thing that will end when it ends “, Ljubicic said.
It has been a lesson for everyone that the virus is supreme now. It must be taken seriously. And Ljubicic understands it too.
“In the end, it was more the harm than the benefits. Everyone has learned from that mistake and knows how not to act next time. The virus is an opponent that does not sleep “ He said.

Ljubicic also updated everyone on Borna Coric’s situation. Coric was also part of the Adria Tour and contracted the virus in Croatia. Ljubicic mentions that Coric is in solitary confinement and is training at home. It is asymptomatic and safe.
“Borna is fine. He was an asymptomatic person and his life was not in danger. We got him a treadmill, an exercise bike and he’s currently at home to train to get back in the best way. “ Ljubicic said.
Ljubicic would now focus exclusively on Federer’s return in 2021. Federer has undergone knee surgery which has excluded him since 2020.
