We were looking forward to promoting sports and providing financial support to local players; as well as to the audience finally seeing Novak Djokovic and other tennis players live, after many years of waiting.

Unfortunately, due to all the events that happened in the last few days, we have decided that the most important thing right now is to stabilise the epidemiological situation; as well as for everyone to recover", said the Adria Tour director, Djordje Djokovic.

"We thank all the participants from the Tennis Association of Republika Srpska, the city of Sarajevo, all those who worked hard in the previous days to prepare these events. We appreciate that and we are remaining friends; while hoping that we will make our idea happen, as soon as the conditions allow it", Djokovic emphasized.
