Novak Djokovic adds star names to Balkan event after finally returning home from Spain

Novak Djokovic has announced he has added more stars to a tournament he has organised which will be contested across the Balkans. Djokovic stayed in the Spanish resort of Marbella for two months due to the coronavirus lockdown. "Unlike many other players, I was able to train almost every day because we resided in a house with a tennis court," Djokovic said. "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, which I am organising." Australian Open champion Djokovic confirmed there would be three big names apart from himself at the tournament. "I am delighted that Dominic Thiem, Grigor Dimitrov and Alexander Zverev will be my guests here in my hometown," said the 17-time Grand Slam champion. "This is the first time any of them will be playing here and I will do everything in my power to be a good host. We would dearly love for fans to be able to attend but that's still not certain because we have to abide by the Serbian government's coronavirus regulations." The tournament is due to run from June 13 until July 5. The first leg will take place on red clay in Belgrade at Djokovic's complex and the second in Croatia's coastal resort Zadar on June 20 and 21.
