'But I don't care. Very soon the cat (Djokovic) will be on the court, and the mice in the hole.'

Nemanja Matic of Manchester United battles for possession with Christian Atsu of Newcastle United during the Premier League match between Manchester United and Newcastle United at Old Trafford on October 6, 2018 in Manchester, United Kingdom.

"Mice came out of the hole and gave themselves the right to criticise the world number one, in tennis but also how he relates to all other people in the world," Matic wrote in an open letter of support to Djokovic published by local media.The midfielder stressed that the tournament in Belgrade was organised in line with the Serbian law."The only thing for which I resent Novak is that he apologises to the mice who criticise him for no reason.

Players had embraced across the net, played basketball and even danced in a nightclub the week before in Belgrade. Djokovic on Tuesday issued an unstinting apology for the now-cancelled Adria Tour in the Balkans, where social distancing was minimal and matches were played in front of thousands of fans.His wife Jelena has also tested positive after the couple travelled back from Croatia to Belgrade to be tested."An unbelievable amount of shit on Novak these days," Radja wrote on Facebook on Wednesday.
