Novak Djokovic’s intentions in organising the ill-fated Adria Tour were good but the world No. 1 could have applied a bit more common sense to how the exhibition event was run, former ATP Players’ Council head Vijay Amritraj has said. The Serb has faced fierce criticism...

Amritraj, who reached a career-high ranking of 18 and beat Bjorn Borg, Rod Laver and Jimmy Connors in his playing career, thought the tournament would have been good for tennis as it would bring the sport back on television.

“And later on... after finding out that the event itself had pretty much a full house from the perspective of fans and none of this social distancing, masks, all of that were even in play, it became very much more of a concern.” “Same for Roger and Rafa , whatever they say or do is going to have a great degree of influence over the sport worldwide and what people think,” he said.
