Before challenging Italy this Saturday in the semi-finals of the Davis Cup, Novak Djokovic is at the heart of a controversy. This Thursday, the world number one and his team refused to carry out an anti-doping test, shortly before the quarter-final against Great Britain (2-0 victory).
“This is the first time this has happened to me in twenty years on the circuit. It makes no sense to do it before when I will be there after the match, he explained to the Serbian media present. I haven’t completed the check yet, but I have already given a blood sample. They warned me an hour and a half before the match started. I have my pre-match routines and I don’t have to think at that moment about donating blood or urine, Djokovic justified. I have always defended testing, but not before matches. There is nothing to hide, but there must be certain limits. »
