Bruno is eyeing the resumption of tennis but feels that this ‘ horror show’ by Djokovic could cause panic among people.
“This event of theirs, although it was a completely different thing from what is going to be held in the United States, is causing a bit of general panic,” he said.

Djokovic is also the president of the ATP players council. Soares is also a member and feels that Djokovic should be more responsible than he is now. The Serb did not attend a meeting that involved more than a hundred tennis players. The meeting was to sort out the details of the resuming season but the Serbian was busy attending a football match in Serbia.
And Bruno Soares also hopes that safety measures would be opposite when tennis resumes in the US. As the tour was Djokovic’s endeavor, it shouldn’t affect the ATP tournaments.

“It falls on him as a person, the ATP has nothing to do with it there. He organized the event on his own.” He said.
Throughout this whole mess, Djokovic has maintained a defensive stand. He has said that the Adria Tour happened with the country’s regulation. But since then it has been a different story.
