Only Novak Djokovic Can Do That Amongst the Big 3 – Top Tennis Coach Slams Adria Tour Fiasco

Novak Djokovic has been drilled by a lot of people for the Adria Tour. The ill-fated tour resulted in four players including Djokovic to contract the coronavirus. And the tour was canceled midway. Since then Djokovic has been tested negative and also apologized for the event saying it happened with a good heart.

The Adria Tour had major flaws. Especially in safety, there were no mandatory masks and social distancing was ignored. And now Juan Del Potro‘s former coach and Kyle Edmund’s current coach Franco Davin has come out and slammed Djokovic.

“The attitude of Novak Djokovic, his family, his environment are typical of these things happening” – Franco Davin

Davin in an interview with La Nacion gave out his first reaction on the tour. He called it ‘sloppy’.To him, it seemed that it was an old event as there were no masks. And he says that the only person out of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic who could have done such a thing is Djokovic.

“Yes, yes, a little sloppy. The moment you saw television and there was the image, it seemed to you that it was something old because there were no masks and it seemed that everything was normal. See how I can tell you … if I put them on Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic and you ask me who could have done that, only Djokovic.” Davin said

Also, the coach blamed Djokovic’s attitude for the debacle. He even went on to blame his family’s attitude as well. He acknowledged that the tennis family shouldn’t be surprised.

“Because I don’t think the tennis family was surprised to see that. I don’t think we would have seen him on the side of Nadal or Federer. But I do not know if I am in a position to give an opinion after having been infected.” he said

“It seems to me that the attitude … I have lived it in many games against Djokovic, especially with Juan, with attitudes of him, his family, his environment, which are typical of these things happening” he added

Davin and Djokovic both contracted the virus and now are fit. Davin is with Edmund while Djokovic is practicing in Europe for the resuming season.
