"I am extremely happy to play in front of the local audience and to travel around the region.The event is humanitarian in nature, all proceeds go to humanitarian organizations. My Foundation will be one of those. World stars who come will choose where to donate the money.
The participation of Dominic Tim, Grigor Dimitrov, was confirmed earlier, and Djokovic revealed another big name.
"The phenomenal news is that Sasha Zverev is coming. Three great world stars. I am really grateful to them and I am happy to be able to host them in my hometown."
"Everyone comes here for free because of my relationship with them and the humanitarian character of the tournament. All three will play in Belgrade. Zverev in Croatia as well, and Dimitrov in Croatia and Montenegro as well," Novak added.
"I hope that the regulations will be changed by June 13 and that we will have an audience. We must respect the legal regulations issued by the competent bodies. It is 100 percent certain that Belgrade and Zadar will be organized at those locations.''
''Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina are still unclear due to the late start of the organization, but we are working on it.We have cooperation with local Federations, which will organize tournaments for younger and lower ranked players and whoever wins will play with us.''
''We are considering the possibility of having women's matches, we want to play doubles, mixed doubles, doubles with sports legends such as Goran Ivanisevic, the ITF does not allow doubles yet , but we'll see ", said the world's first racket.
Djokovic revealed that he is looking forward to the 'Adriatic tour' in good shape.
"I had the opportunity to train every day because we had a tennis court in the yard. I practiced on hard court, I feel good. I've worked a lot.''
''It's uncertain when we will play again, but I am looking at this tour seriously. World stars are coming, I want them to bring positive impressions. I care a lot. I started this idea, I am in constant contact with TSS and the company that organizes all this.''
"We don't know who is in what form. Zverev trained in America. Dominic has been active, working for several weeks. Clay is his favorite surface. I believe that they will be motivated. We are professional tennis players, we miss doing our job."
"Rafa, Roger and I have communicated more than usual, due to the coronavirus pandemic. Federer is still recovering, I didn't ask him. Rafa has been playing recently. We talked last week about the US Open, but I didn't ask him. I will ask him but i dont expect from him to come''
