Djokovic coach Ivanisevic latest to test positive for COVID-19
Former Wimbledon champion positive for COVID-19 following Balkan event
Novak Djokovic’s coach, Goran Ivanisevic, is the latest to announce he has tested positive for COVID-19 following the ill-fated Adria Tour organised by Novak Djokovic.
Ivanisevic, the former Wimbledon champion who is part of Djokovic’s coaching set-up, said on Instagram that after two negative tests he had now tested positive.
“I feel good and don’t have any symptoms,” Croatian Ivanisevic, who won Wimbledon as a wildcard in 2001 when he beat Pat Rafter, said.
“I would like to inform everyone who has been in contact with me that I tested positive and ask them to take extra good care of themselves and their loved ones.
“I will continue to self-isolate as I have been doing.”
