A number of videos showing Djokovic and other tennis players partying at the nightclub are circulating on social media, but Ivanisevic is talking about individual responsibilities.
“All right, you might not need it. But they are all individuals. No one can force anyone to come to a nightclub. Nobody forces anyone to dance. Nobody tells you to go onstage, open your shirt, and dance,” said Ivanisevic.
“And how did you know that someone was even infected at the party?”

Considering the safety of everyone involved, they may face stricter controls. The health of tennis players and fans will certainly be prioritized.
