World number one Novak Djokovic, after the match he played against Laslo Djere in Belgrade, announced that he was criticizing the organizers of Wimbledon for the decision not to allow tennis players from Russia and Belarus this year.
- “I will always condemn the war, I will never support it as a child of war. I know how much trauma it leaves. We have had many wars in the Balkans, but I cannot support Wimbledon’s decision, it is insane. Players and coaches have nothing to do with it. Interference of politics in sports must not happen. ” – said Djokovic.
This afternoon, Novak will play against another countryman, Miomir Kecmanovic.
