Novak Djokovic tests positive for COVID-19

Novak Djokovic, the men's world number one tennis player, has tested positive for COVID-19, the Serbian confirmed in a statement on Tuesday.

"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 said in the statement. 

He has been under criticism since Croatia's Borna Coric, Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria and Viktor Troicki tested positive after playing in the Adria Tour exhibition tournament he organized in the Balkan region.

"Everything we did in the past month, we did with a pure heart and sincere intentions."

"Our tournament meant to unite and share a message of solidarity and compassion throughout the region."
