Nestorovic, who is close to Novak Djokovic, has come to his compatriot’s defence by declaring that the Adria Tour wasn’t a mistake, despite Djokovic himself admitting to the contrary. Nestorovic, however, did imply that the (shirtless) player party should have been avoided.
The doctor then made a rather shocking analogy by saying that getting infected by COVID-19 was akin to having an affair with an HIV+ woman. He also declared that ’everybody has the right to be infected’, as though contracting coronavirus was a ‘right’ rather than a misfortune.
Tennis players are defending Novak Djokovic: Nestorovic
Dr. Nestorovic continued with his outrageous defence of Novak Djokovic’s Adria Tour, saying that it wasn’t a big deal since nobody had died or even fallen seriously ill.
The pulmonologist provided examples of tennis players defending Novak Djokovic over his Adria Tour fiasco, while conveniently ignoring the fact that a majority of players have slammed the World No. 1.
Nestorovic concluded by saying that Dino Radja has also said ’nice’ things about Novak Djokovic. Radja is a well-known Croatian basketball player who posted a lengthy Facebook status in defense of Djokovic in the aftermath of the Adria Tour blowup.
Novak Djokovic’s Adria Tour was a tournament held in the Balkan nations between top-ranked players like himself, Dominic Thiem, Alexander Zverev, Grigor Dimitrov and others, to raise money to fight against the COVID-19 epidemic.
However, the tournament, despite its noble intentions, succumbed to the very virus because of poorly implemented safety protocols. At a time when the threat of COVID-19 has not yet abated, the Adria Tour featured linesmen, ball kids, matches played to full houses and players embracing and shaking hands with each other.
After an incident-free first leg in Belgrade, the Adria Tour ran into rough weather during its second leg in Zadar. Grigor Dimitrov, Borna Coric, Viktor Troicki and Novak Djokovic himself tested positive for COVID-19, forcing the Adria Tour to be cancelled.
