Popular tennis player, Novak Djokovic, and his wife, Jelena, have both tested positive for COVID-19.
The star who recently returned to Belgrade from the Adria Tour revealed that he and his wife tested positive while his two children tested negative.
The world No.1 tennis star was scheduled to play in Sunday’s final. However, this test result will most likely derail that plan.
“I am extremely sorry for each individual case of infection. I hope that it will not complicate anyone’s health situation and that everyone will be fine,” CNN quoted him as saying.
“The moment we arrived in Belgrade we went to be tested. My result is positive, just as Jelena’s, while the results of our children are negative.
“Everything we did in the past month, we did with a pure heart and sincere intentions. Our tournament meant to unite and share a message of solidarity and compassion throughout the region.
“We organized the tournament at the moment when the virus has weakened, believing that the conditions for hosting the Tour had been met. Unfortunately, this virus is still present, and it is a new reality that we are still learning to cope and live with.”
