2020 ATP General News

[Nadalfan2013]

If any of these players’ family members die because they got the virus from them, I don’t know how they will live with themselves. They purposely acted in an irresponsible way, it’s not as if they were being careful and still contracted the virus. I agree with Kyrgios’ statement, he is now more responsible and less stupid than them.

I knew that: I predicted that in my last message above.

World tennis number one Novak Djokovic tests positive for COVID-19

The Serbian, who is the number one player in the world, released a statement confirming the positive result.

This is the nail to the coffin of Joker's PR with ATP and the rest of the world.
What should he do now? Step down from Players' Council would be the first move. No one will take him seriously after his expo+disco+covid stunts

Do you think he will still attend the US Open...I would not be surprised if this begins to mess with his head just like it did a few years ago when he got busted trying to creep out on his wife with that Bollywood actress/model

 

[Nadalfan2013]

Djokovic was always jealous of Nadal and Federer because they got so much media attention. Well congratulations he finally managed to join them. Oh except that they are loved but now he will be even more hated than before. He used to be annoyed that crowds cheered for Nadal and Federer much more than him, well now he should be worried not about getting less cheers but about being booed every time he steps on the court.

Actually. I feel sorry for Novak..I do honestly feel his intentions were sincere but just ill-fated. I don't put too much that comes out of Nick's mouth because he is a real Asshole like Cali and Broken shoe string.

Sorry but everyone knows the danger of the virus and he didn’t care. It’s like me right now throwing a big party in the midst of a pandemic and inviting tons people from several countries with zero social distancing and people getting drunk, and then saying oh my intention was good. Sorry but nice try... Like I said hopefully he didn’t transmit the virus to elderly people in his family or some people who have medical conditions that could possibly die from this virus.

Oh..I agree Novak was extremely extraordinary irresponsible and a complete idiot. But I don't consider him.an Asshole..Go read Cali's, BSs and look up Nick's quotes..Those are true assholes.

I am not surprised that Novak has tested positive to coronavirus,also sad to read his wife also tested positive,thankfully his children did not.
I will be interested to read his statement to the press.

Sincerely right now I'm more concerned about the earthquake 7.5 in Mexico than the bad consequences of some human stupidity

Just read about the earthquake Carol,just horrific.

 

[rafanoy1992]

I am very curious to see now if the US Open and French Open will happen this year after this debacle. Also, the big thing about this debacle is the older or immunocompromised people that get infected. I hope nobody dies from COVID-19 in this irresponsible Adria Tour.

The good news is that apparently there are not fatal victims but they are afraid about the aftershocks, hope not!

I think both tours will go on,USO did have good plans in place,testing,keeping social distancing,no fans etc
I did read that Roland Garos were hoping to have fans? though hopefully, they may re-think on having fans at this stage,we are still in the middle of the pandemic,it is not going away.

If definitely the USO is going to play I doubt these players, Novak, Troicki, Dimitrov and who knows who else will be ready to play at that time

I am curious to see if Djokovic or the other players will play either one of the slams. I know selfishly they will want to play at at least one slam. But after these past few days, it will be interesting on how they will approach it.

Seeing Novak did not like the original restrictions of the USO,also Theim and Zverev, I think now he will realize why they had to be put in place.He did say he would re-start his tour on the clay? It will not surprise me if he does not play at the USO.

 

[tented]

Do you think he will still attend the US Open.

The better question, perhaps, is whether the USTA will allow him to attend, knowing he has tested positive. I’m guessing no — they’ll tell him not to come.

Well that may mean all the other players that tested positive may not be able to attend as well.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

If the players go into the mandatory 14 day self isolation and take a further test in 5 days and it tests Negative they should be okay.
One of the lingering problems with this virus is the 'fatique factor' that may take longer to recover.

I am trying to retweet on instagram Novak's statement it won't allow me to do this on this blog for some reason?
