“I was very surprised when I got the news from Adria Tour. We played without spectators for weeks, so we felt more than happy about the fans’ attendance at the tournament. We trust the Serbian government regulations, but we are too optimistic. Our attitude is a mistake, we behave too happily. I am truly sorry, “wrote the Austrian, Thiem.
Because Thiem had direct contact with the player infected with the virus, he also conducted tests to find out if he was also infected. At the same upload, he gave good news related to the results of the test.
