World No. 1 Novak Djokovic labelled criticism of his behaviour during the pandemic as a "witch hunt" describing much of the commentary surrounding the COVID-19 crisis at the Adria Tour as "malicious".
Djokovic was a key figure in planning The Adria Tour, which brought in players from around the world to play in front of thousands of fans in Belgrade without face masks or social distancing. The event was subsequently cancelled after several players and support staff, including Djokovic and his wife, tested positive.The Serbian star was hammered for his behaviour during the tour, especially after photos of a shirtless Djokovic at a Belgrade nightclub circulated online.
Speaking to Serbia's Sportski Zurnal, Djokovic said it felt like people were out to get him after his positive test."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." "My intention was pure, I was wholeheartedly committed to organising a humanitarian event to help players and tennis federations in the [Balkan] region.
