Nick Kyrgios slams Novak Djokovic after Serbian star tests positive for coronavirus
- The world No 1 tennis player admits he was ‘wrong’ in hosting a charity tournament in the Balkans during the pandemic
- Aussie Kyrgios has posted several tweets criticising Djokovic’s event, in which a number of players tested positive along with the superstar
The final leg of the Adria Tour in Bosnia has been cancelled and Djokovic on Tuesday apologised for hosting the bungled event, admitting he and organisers “were wrong” to push ahead during the pandemic.
Djokovic, who was not showing any symptoms, joined fellow players Grigor Dimitrov, Borna Coric and Viktor Troicki in testing positive for Covid-19 during the second leg of the event, where social distancing was minimal and players embraced over the net.
Kyrgios on Tuesday retweeted a video of players including Djokovic dancing shirtless in a nightclub, saying he sent “prayers” to the players who had contracted the virus.
“Don’t @ me for anything I’ve done that has been ‘irresponsible’ or classified as ‘stupidity’ – this takes the cake,” he wrote.
