Also that…
For the unvaccinated tennis star Novak Djokovic (35) there is also a massive corona problem in Wimbledon!
Because: his training partner Marin Čilić (33) tested positive for Corona.
Čilić wrote on Instagram: “I went into self-isolation hoping to be ready. But I still don’t feel well and can’t compete.”
On Thursday he was still training with Djokovic. When they greeted each other, they hugged each other tightly and then stood close together. After the unit, there was also a hug to say goodbye.
The training could now have drastic consequences for Djokovic!

It brings with it the increased risk that the third in the world rankings could have been infected. On Monday Djokovic defeated the South Korean Soonwoo Kwon (24) in four sets.
Was it the last game at Wimbledon for Djoker?
Again and again Corona trouble for Djokovic! The former number 1 was expelled from Australia in January for not being vaccinated. As of today, he is also not allowed to enter the USA for the US Open (August 29 to September 11).
Training with Čilić could have other consequences for him: On the same day, Djokovic was also in contact with Rafael Nadal (36) and last year’s finalist Matteo Berrettini (26), who also completed a training session on the center court.
Berrettini announced on Tuesday afternoon that he also has Corona.
