In a recent interview with Jutarnii List, Borna Coric looked back on the period after the Adria Tour.
The 23-years-old Croatian was one of the participants of the Adria Tour in Zadar. The tournament didn't end as many expected after Grigor Dimitrov was tested positive for the COVID-19. Later, the organizer of the tournament, Novak Djokovic and also Borna Coric tested positive. Now, a few weeks later, Coric looked back on that period, when he said:
“That Monday was really chaotic. Hundreds of information, calls, and people. I was not happy, of course," admitted Coric. "It was hard to read negative articles and comments, but again, I can’t pay too much attention to what others think and say. A long time I accepted this as an integral part of my career and life. We spoke twice through text messages with Novak Djokovic. We were checking out the situation and asking if there were any symptoms. He did not show any symptoms,” said Coric.
“I read what Kyrgios wrote, but I could not care less because he also likes to be a general after the battle. If someone else was giving lectures, maybe I would understand, but Kyrgios. That’s not realistic, but okay that’s his style, that’s how he works," Coric said. "I don’t have a problem with that, nor do I mind on a personal level. Zverev acted badly, but I don’t see the need to call out fellow players in that way. I would not do that, but again. That’s Kyrgios.”
“I am definitely sorry that the tournament ended that way, because we had a positive story, a humanitarian character, we played tennis after a long time and we all had," said Borna Coric. "I would not go into details or point a finger because we don’t know who actually brought the virus first and whether someone should have been tested.”

- Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??
mandoist08-11-2026 - Wtf? Why is there no reason? And what about the men's?Bel08-11-2026
- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Enough of her bullshit. Go marry someone.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.
mandoist05-11-2026 - Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.
mandoist05-11-2026 - Vacherot is Mongasque, rather than Swiss. The tournament was Swiss :DTrwd7702-11-2026
- After a couple decades traveling to IIHF tourneys overseas... our family is done with it... and I will not be the only one!! Bad enough the NHL allows Ovachenko (a Putin Supporter and Campaigner) to live and play in the USA. Let's not forget the STATE SPONSORED RUSSIAN DOPING PROGRAMS still in effect today.
