Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal vow to stay off court until tennis officially resumes in Spain on Monday after world’s top two misinterpreted government advice and broke lock down laws to practice. – By Enock Mukoma.
Djokovic has been spending lock down in Marbella, Spain. Elite athletes in professional leagues were given go-ahead to train or practice, but the move did not apply to tennis, which can only resume next Monday.
Both Djokovic and Nadal appear to have misinterpreted government advice about athletes being allowed train, and assumed that they were entitled to have a hit.
Djokovic, who has been hunkered down at his base in Marbella in the current crisis, on Tuesday night received an apology from the famous Puente Romano resort for giving him the wrong guidance.
