Fans welcome at Djokovic’s event
After being suspended for three months due to the coronavirus pandemic, top-level international tennis returns this weekend in Belgrade with a charity tournament hosted by World No. 1 Novak Djokovic and where fans will be welcome.
Tickets sold out in seven minutes after they were put on sale online last Wednesday. The event will be broadcast live in more than 100 countries.
The matches will be played at Novak Tennis Centre, financed by Djokovic's family, with a view of the Danube river.
Dominic Thiem, Alexander Zverev and Grigor Dimitrov will play but giants Roger Federer, out for the year following knee surgery, and Rafael Nadal, who recently resumed training, will be absent.
"Taking the situation into account, I didn't have the nerve to call and invite them," said Djokovic.
