Djokovic: “They attacked me, but I have the support of the players”

Two months after the controversial celebration Adria Tour, the tournament organized by Djokovic continues to be one of the recurring themes on the world circuit. Virtually all of its protagonists have spoken about it in recent days. Dimitrov acknowledged that getting through the illness was tough throughout the first days, and Zverev acknowledged his mistakes. Even Kyrgios charged again, calling the participants in the event a “group of albatrosses”.

Now it has been Novak Djokovic, promoter of the tournament, the last to comment on it again. The number one in the world apologized, but recently some of his statements in which he said he did not regret the Adria Tour, and that he would do it again, have put the Serbian in the eye of the hurricane again. “I have been attacked, this is not the first time and it will probably continue. I can't expect everyone to love and encourage me, or understand my intentions. They don't think that maybe I have made a positive contribution to the future of tennis.”Djokovic commented in words collected by We Love Tennis.

Despite the criticism received, 'Nole' will not stop presiding over the Players Council. “There will always be someone willing to criticize, and I am always open to admitting and learning from my mistakes. We are all human. I will continue on the Players Board because I feel great support. It may not seem that way to the general public, but it is the truth. Anyway, we know that criticism always has more echo than praise or congratulations “, said the Serbian, who is currently playing the Cincinnati Masters 1,000 in New York, the prelude to the US Open.
