Novak Djokovic Reveals Reason For Not Posting Workout Clips Amid Pandemic

KEY POINTS

Novak Djokovic revealed that he remained active while isolated in Spain
Djokovic said he did not want to "infuriate" other players by posting training clips
Djokovic braces for the Adria Tour scheduled for June 13

Novak Djokovic insisted that he remains in shape amidst the hiatus in tennis tournaments due to the Coronavirus threat. The Serb superstar eased concerns about his conditioning as he revealed that he continued to stay active while in isolation. And as fans wondered where and how he did his training, Djokovic said he opted not to post clips of routine because he “didn't want to infuriate other players.”

Finally back in Serbia after weeks of quarantine in a resort city in Spain, the No.1-ranked tennis star bared how he was able to train every day as he braces himself for the Adria Tour - a round-robin tournament organized by the Serb himself that is scheduled to run from June 13 to July 5.

"Unlike many other players, I was able to train almost every day because we resided in a house with a tennis court," said Djokovic. "I refrained from posting clips on social networks because I didn't want to infuriate other players. "I am fit and in good shape. So I am looking forward to the Adria Tour."

Djokovic, who just turned 33 on Friday, pointed out that the event is not expecting to draw a massive crowd, mainly due to general restrictions by the Serbian government with regards to the continuing threat of COVID-19. But despite this, several household names in the sport are still invited to participate.

"We would dearly love for fans to be able to attend," he continued, "but that's still not certain because we have to abide by the Serbian government's coronavirus regulations."

Pending approval, the sporting event would feature Dominic Thiem, Grigor Dimitrov, and Alexander Zverev, before Djokovic takes on Damir Dzumhur to cap the spectacle, according to ESPN.

Rafael Nadal is reportedly invited as well, but Djokovic is doubtful that his Spanish rival could attend.

"As for Rafael Nadal, I have no problem giving him a call," he said, "but I wouldn't expect him to come over."

Djokovic was having a stellar start in 2020, seizing his 17^th Grand Slam at the Australian Open in January and was boasting an 18-0 tally prior to the suspension in March.
