Another tennis player has tested positive for the coronavirus after taking part in an exhibition series organised by Novak Djokovic in Serbia and Croatia.
Viktor Troicki said on June 23 that he and his pregnant wife have both been diagnosed with the virus. The former top-20 player from Serbia played against Djokovic in Belgrade during the first part of the two-leg tour.
The top-ranked Djokovic was the face behind the Adria Tour, a series of exhibition events that started in the Serbian capital and then moved to Zadar, Croatia, last weekend. He left Croatia after the final was cancelled and was tested in Belgrade. Those results are expected later today.
