\n Novak Djokovic doesn\u2019t understand why irresponsibility is so unpopular.<\/p>\n

Last month, the world\u2019s No. 1 tennis player helped plan The Adria Tour, which brought in players from multiple countries and allowed sellout crowds of 4,000 fans to gather in Belgrade without face masks or social<\/a> distancing. It was then cancelled after multiple players tested positive for COVID-19. Djokovic \u2014 and his wife \u2014 also contracted the coronavirus and was one of several players captured on video that week dancing shirtless in a Belgrade club.<\/p>\n

Still, Djokovic believes his stature is the reason he is being condemned by so many.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can only see criticism lately and much of it is malicious,\u201d Djokovic told Serbia\u2019s Sportski Zurnal. \u201cIt\u2019s obviously more than just criticism, it\u2019s like an agenda and a witch hunt are on. Someone has to take the fall, a big name.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMy intention was pure, I was wholeheartedly committed to organizing a humanitarian event to help players and tennis federations in the [Balkan] region. We complied with all the laws and regulations. But we\u2019ve learned our lessons and some things could have probably been done in a different way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Djokovic\u2019s desire to play at the U.S. Open hasn\u2019t changed much, though. Last month, the 17-time grand slam champion bemoaned the strict protocol in place for players who come to New York, with Djokovic bothered by the inability to go to Manhattan or bring his entourage.<\/p>\n

\u201cI still haven\u2019t decided whether I will play in the U.S. Open, the upsurge in registered COVID-19 cases in the United States and New York in particular are not playing into the event\u2019s hands,\u201d Djokovic said.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
