Coric had played the first game against Grigor Dimitrov on Saturday but, unlike the Bulgarian, had also started in Zadar on Sunday. Now the Croatian announced on Twitter that he, like Dimitrov, had been infected with the COVID-19 virus.
This will also have an impact on the coming weeks: After all, Coric and Dimitrov should be part of "Thiem's 7" in Kitzbühel from July 7th to 11th, 2020.
The organizers of the Adria Tour decided not to host the final between Novak Djokovic and Andrey Rublev on Sunday. "We have strictly followed the epidemiological measures of the countries in which the Adriatic tour was organized," said a message. Nobody who has been in contact with Dimitrov shows symptoms. "
Dimitrov, number 19 in the world, shared the news on Instagram on Sunday evening, causing Djokovic to face difficulties. Because at the kick-off last weekend in Belgrade, the spectator ranks were packed, the players hugged - and then celebrated boisterously in a club. Right in the middle: Alexander Zverev.
Former professional Andy Roddick reacted to the developments with a joke. "Apparently there is a pandemic," tweeted the American. The Swiss Stan Wawrinka responded to the comment with a "Hahahahaha".
Whether the tour will continue after the incident is more than questionable.
