The family of Serbian tennis star Novak Djokovic abruptly ended a press conference overnight after being questioned over the world number one’s movements after he tested positive to COVID-19.

Djokovic’s lawyers gave evidence that he returned a positive COVID-19 result on December 16, but he was photographed maskless in the following three days with people in Belgrade.

At a press conference after Djokovic’s victory in Australia’s federal court, Nine News Europe Correspondent in Belgrade, Brett Mcleod, asked the tennis star’s family to clarify if he tested positive on December 16.

“He said yes, he said ‘That’s what’s in the court documents, that’s what was put forward by our lawyers,” Mcleod told Neil Breen.

It sparked questions from other journalists about the photographs of Djokovic in the days after December 16, and Djokovic’s brother abruptly declared “this press conference is adjourned”.
