By Newsroom

Tennis superstar Novak Djokovic and his wife  Jelena have tested positive for COVID-19.

Their positive diagnosis comes after Djokovic took part in a tennis exhibition series he organised in Serbia and Croatia.

“The moment we arrived in Belgrade we went to be tested. My result is positive, just as Jelena’s, while the results of our children are negative,” Djokovic confirmed in a statement on Tuesday.

He is the fourth player to test positive for the virus after first playing in Serbia’s capital, Belgrade, and then again last weekend in Zadar, Croatia.

The other players who tested positive for the virus are Serbian tennis player Viktor Troicki and his pregnant wife, Djokovic’s coach Marko Paniki, Bulgarian tennis player Grigor Dimitrov and his coach Christian Grob, as well as Croatian tennis player Borna Coric.

Djokovic had, in the past, said he would not take a vaccine for the virus, even if it became mandatory for international travel.
