Nick Kyrgios takes swipe at Novak Djokovic ‘stupidity’ after testing positive for coronavirus following Adria Tour

NICK KYRGIOS hit out at the “stupidity” of Novak Djokovic after the World No1 tested for positive for coronavirus.

The Serbian, 33, decided to host the Adria Tour during a global pandemic and without social-distancing measures in place.

Nick Kyrgios has publicly slated Novak Djokovic for hosting the tournament

Djokovic, Grigor Dimitrov, Viktor Troicki and Borna Coric contracted Covid-19 after taking part in the event.

The 17-time Grand Slam decided to celebrate the end of his charity tournament in Serbia with a wild night out. 

Kyrgios shared footage of Djokovic – who has since issued a grovelling apology – dancing with his shirt off on the stage to his Twitter page.

Alongside the video, he wrote: “Prayers up to all the players that have contracted Covid-19.

“Don’t @ me for anything I’ve done that has been ‘irresponsible’ or classified as ‘stupidity’ – this takes the cake.”

He also retweeted the same video, but this time it had the caption: “How dumb can they all be seriously?”

Earlier this week, Kyrgious described Djokovic’s decision to go ahead with the tournament as “boneheaded”.

The Australian wrote: “Boneheaded decision to go ahead with the ‘exhibition’, speedy recovery fellas, but that’s what happen when you disregard all protocols.

“This is NOT A JOKE.”

Djokovic’s wife Jelena also contracted Covid-19 following the tennis tournament in Serbia and Croatia.
