So Dimitrov has tested for Covid, he and a number of eastern europeans have been playing exhibitions, in crowded stadia, including Novak. Hard to have any sympathy for any of the dumbasses.

 

[Niall]

Coric also tested positive, its cool that tennis is back but this event with the zero lack of precautions from all involved has been a shitshow.

couldn't have happened to a nicer person etc etc

The hubris had to bite him someday.. Still wish it had been last years Wimbledon finals though.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

What if being on the gear makes him extremely suspectible.

 

[morgieb]

I generally hate to hear stories of people contracting COVID, but this story does give me some schadenfraude.

Can't say I'm a fan of Djokovic but the guy's mental strength is unbelievable. With the whole stadium cheering wildly for the opponent, if there's one guy in the world who can make that pass matchpoint down, it's Djokovic.

 

[honestbharani]

Yeah and in a weird way its that hubris and arrogance and even dickheadedness that perhaps let him be as good as he is but this was stupid.

King.

Presumably Djokovic doesn't listen to his wife and bought himself a 5G phone?

They're a weird ****ing couple to be fair, but it seems they deserve each other.

Fair point

I don't know that Covid-19 necessarily cares about that though.

weird instagram interview from djokovic
outside of his tennis and athletic abilities, he seems to be a moron...

Goran Ivanisevic has the virus as well from the same tournament. Doesn’t seem to ill at all though.

Still going to be **** to hit fan when the crowd start Testing positive, and they won't be top athletes or ex in peak physical activity, doubt they've been tested yet. I see lawsuits in the future.
