Novak Djokovic Returns to Practice Under Coronavirus Lockdown Rules

World No.1 Novak Djokovic broke the confinement rules in Spain two weeks ago. He returned to practice on the tennis courts of a certain club in Spain. However, this was due to the misinterpretation of the rules on the club’s part rather than the Serb.

Nevertheless, Djokovic hit the practice courts on Monday, abiding the guidelines of the lockdown this time around. The Serbian practiced at the Puente Romano Tennis Club in Marbella – where he has stayed during the coronavirus lockdown.

The Spanish Government has lifted further restrictions for provinces that find themselves in Phase 1 of the pandemic de-escalation, starting Monday. Under the new guidelines, professional sports clubs or anonymous sporting societies are permitted to hold full training sessions. These sporting clubs will, however, have to comply with the corresponding prevention and hygiene measures.

Consequently, tennis players are also given the authority to train on the courts. Hence, Djokovic was able to return to the club, where he practiced with his close friend and World No.428, Carlos Gomez Herrera.

Djokovic was in imperial form before the coronavirus hiatus struck the season. The 32-year-old has yet to lose a single match in 2020. He clinched 3 titles at the ATP Cup, Australian Open and Dubai Open. Moreover, he has won 5 of the last 7 Grand Slams, bringing his tally to 17.

He has not played a match on the circuit since his victory over Stefanos Tsitsipas at the Dubai Open final. He will certainly hope that the tour resumes soon and he is able to continue his winning momentum.

However, tennis might be one of the last sports to return back to the action due to the travel restrictions in the wake of coronavirus. Nevertheless, we hope to hear the loud roar of Novak Djokovic on the tennis courts soon.
