In a recent interview, Nikola Vesucevic spoke about the Adria Tour. He couldn’t understand why so many people criticized the Serb and said,
“It was ugly how some treated Novak, he tried to organize the tournament with the best intentions. He was given the wrong information about the situation with the virus in the Balkans at that time. He tried with the best intentions to help the tennis players and to bring something to the people… The intention was to raise money for charity and to help tennis players.”
