Grigor Dimitrov, fresh off his appearance at the Adria Series events, tests positive for COVID-19.

He becomes the highest-profile tennis player to disclose a positive test for coronavirus, and he was just with a whole bunch of other high profile players.
Here’s hoping that nobody else at Adria, an event which was a mid-pandemic middle finger to the concept of social distancing, got sick as well…but that seems impossible.
Grigor is the very nicest guy and I’m wishing him good health and quick recovery from this nasty disease.

But my golly, I hope he can serve as an example to other players/athletes/people who aren’t taking the coronavirus seriously.

The disease is real. The risks are real.
Dimitrov was on court in Croatia YESTERDAY, visibly ailing.

Golly heck.
