The Adria Tour is getting knocks from tennis stakeholders after Grigor Dimitrov and Borna Coric were confirmed positive for coronavirus after the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The series of events is hosted by world number one Novak Djokovic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professional tennis had been on suspension since March due to the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tournaments were set up to help players get back to match fitness after several weeks without competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dimitrov withdrew from the tournament in Zadar, Croatia, on Saturday with sickness after losing to Coric, who played again on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI tested positive back in Monaco for Covid-19. I want to make sure anyone who has been in contact with me during these past days gets tested and takes the necessary precautions,\u201d Dimitrov wrote on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Monday, Coric revealed he had also tested positive, saying: \u201cI\u2019m feeling well and don\u2019t have any symptoms. Please stay safe and healthy!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Zadar tournament was the second Adria Tour event after the opening round in Belgrade, Serbia. Sunday\u2019s final was canceled after Dimitrov test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first event in Serbia attracted 4,000 fans, and several thousand attended in Croatia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, amid the pandemic, the US Open<\/a> will be held without fans from 31 August to 13 September, despite some players voicing concerns about travelling to New York.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
