BELGRADE: Novak Djokovic has accused critics of subjecting him to a"witch-hunt" after his regional Adria Tour tennis event ended in a novel coronavirus fiasco and said he was still uncertain whether he would play at the Aug 31-Sep 13 US Open.
Djokovic, who tested positive for COVID-19 after the Adria Tour's second leg in Croatia, pulled no punches in slamming his peers and pundits who said he was irresponsible to stage the event amid the pandemic. "It's obviously more than just criticism, it's like an agenda and a witch-hunt are on. Someone has to take the fall, a big name."I still haven't decided whether I will play in the US Open, the upsurge in registered COVID-19 cases in the United Staes and New York in particular are not playing into the event's hands," added Djokovic who was back in training on Tuesday with Troicki.
"My intention was pure, I was whole-heartedly committed to organising a humanitarian event to help players and tennis federations in the region," he said.
