Serbian tennis player Viktor Troicki on Monday became the fifth participant of the Adria Tour to test positive for Covid-19. The world No 184, who last played in Belgrade on June 17, joins Grigor Dimitrov and Borna Coric in the list of tennis players to test positive for coronavirus.
Apart from these three players, Novak Djokovic’s fitness coach Marko Paniki and Dimitrov’s coach Christian Groh have also tested positive. The event was cancelled once Dimitrov announced on Sunday that he had tested positive.
The BBC reported that Troicki told Serbia’s Telegraf that his wife, who is pregnant, tested positive on Friday, before he returned a positive test on Sunday. The 34-year-old entered Janko Tipsarevic’s Eastern European Championship tournament which started in Belgrade last Monday and pulled out after learning that he and his wife tested positive, according to Reuters.
“My wife took the test on Friday and I took it on Sunday after she tested positive. Our daughter tested negative.” Troicki is quoted as saying by Telegraf.
