Hård kritik mot ”Djokovid” efter smitta på turnering
Kritiken mot den serbiske tennisstjärnan Novak Djokovic är inte nådig efter beskedet om att han smittats av coronaviruset under sin egen tennisturnering.
”Anklaga inte mig för något jag gjort som varit ”oansvarigt” eller klassats som ”idiotiskt” – det här tar priset”, skriver den frispråkige toppspelaren Nick Kyrgios på Twitter.
För närvarande trendar hashtaggen ”Djokovid” på sociala medier, en anspelning på covid-19.
Även Andy Murray ifrågasätter beslutet att genomföra den nu avbrutna turneringen Adria Tour, efter vilken världsettan Djokovic och tre andra spelare konstaterats smittade av corona.
– Den borde aldrig ha blivit av, sa Murray i en intervju på tisdagskvällen efter en match i hans brors välgörenhetsturnering Battle of the brits.
