Djokovic must ‘feel responsibility’ at coronavirus at Adria Tour, says Evans —as Dimitrov, Coria test positive

(BBC) British men’s number one Dan Evans says Novak Djokovic should “feel some responsibility” after Grigor Dimitrov and Borna Coric tested positive for Covid-19 at his Adria Tour event.

Bulgaria’s Dimitrov played Croatia’s Coric on Saturday in the second leg of the world number one’s event in Zadar.

With Croatia easing lockdown measures before the event, players were not obliged to observe social distancing rules and were seen embracing at the net at the end of their matches.

A statement read: “At all times we have strictly followed the epidemiological measures in place with the countries where the Adria Tour was organised.”

It added: “In planning for the resumption of the ATP Tour season from 14 August, ATP and other stakeholders have made exhaustive plans to mitigate risks through a variety of precautions and protocols to be implemented at ATP events.”
