Goran Ivanisevic who is Novak Djokovic’s coach responded to the people who criticized the Serb. In a recent interview with Sportske which was translated, he said,
“It’s easy to be a general after the battle and now everyone is very smart, and a lot of them attack Novak because it’s very popular.

“I can accept the criticism that we didn’t need a celebration and party at a nightclub in Belgrade, but each of the players and participants in the party could say that they didn’t want to be there. No one was forced to have fun, dance, take off their T-shirts, enjoy music.”
Lastly, Goran talked about the fact that many people think that the infection started at the party. He said that it was not true as Novak’s fitness coach did not attend the party but he tested positive. And he also said that he was with Novak the whole time but tested negative for the virus.

Clearly, there is a debate on whether Novak was right or wrong. But that is not a debate that people will be focused on. They will be hoping that the players infected will recover very soon so that they can play on the ATP Tour when it returns in August.
