The number one in the world Novak Djokovic has recently raised many criticisms in the tennis tour due to the fall of Adria Tour in Croatia. During the event, tennis players and referees tested positive for coronavirus. And in the end, it endangered people’s lives in the stadium.
However, among all the criticisms he has received from the outside world, there are players who are coming in support of Novak Djokovic. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga said that the Serbian is not responsible for all the stories that happened during the event. The government and other authorities are responsible for the accident.
“If he was able to organize this tournament, it was because he had all the permissions. There may have been overconfidence, but Djokovic is not the real culprit. He thought he was fine. he must not wear a hat “ he said to Nice Matin as quoted by L’Equipe.
Marion Bartoli defends Novak Djokovic
Former Wimbledon champion Marion Bartoli insisted that Novak hasn’t broken any rules. Government authorities in the respective regions of the Balkan cities had given approval. He was only busy doing philanthropic acts.
“He just wanted to organize a tennis party, in a difficult moment for everyone. And it was very special for him to do it in Belgrade, where he grew up, ” shared the Tennis Majors match point show. “It should not be forgotten that there were 25,000 spectators for a football game in Belgrade a few days earlier. And the Serbian government authorized it.
“He hasn’t broken any rules. So I think he did it with the best of intentions, for a purely philanthropic purpose since no player was paid to play“.
It’s easy to blame Novak after the fiasco that took place. But his intentions were to do something good for society in the midst of the terrible times of the pandemic. But unfortunately, the result has been uneven and, as a result, the tennis world has turned against Serbian legend.
