Nemanja Matic defends Novak Djokovic
“People need to understand that the situation in Serbia was better than here. The country allowed everyone to do whatever they wanted, everything was open, the shopping centers and the restaurants,” said Matic
“So they started to live normal lives because our country was closed for three months completely. But when they opened they said ‘you are more than free to do whatever you want’. Before that tournament, there was a game with 20,000 people and nobody said anything about that.” he added.
