Djokovic gets Covid all-clear

Novak Djokovic and his wife Jelena have tested negative for COVID-19, nine days after returning a positive test, his media team has announced.

Djokovic, Grigor Dimitrov, Borna Coric and Viktor Troicki tested positive after playing in the Adria Tour.

“Novak Djokovic and his wife Jelena tested negative for COVID-19, as the most recent test they took in Belgrade showed. They felt no symptoms of the virus and took the test after consultations with the doctors,” a statement said.

“They spent the past 10 days in self-isolation upon returning from Zadar (in Croatia), having adhered to all COVID-19 protocols and safety measures.”

The tournament saw big crowds at the opening leg in Belgrade last month with players hugging at the net, playing basketball and posing for pictures.

The players did not break any Serbian or Croatian government protocols, as neither country required the athletes to maintain any social distancing.
