“I’ll all the time be the primary one to sentence the conflict,” Djokovic stated. “As a baby of conflict, I do know what sort of emotional trauma a conflict leaves.

Djokovic concluded by saying the conflict isn’t the fault of the athletes.
“That being stated, I can not help the Wimbledon determination. It’s not the athlete’s fault. When politics intervene with sports activities, it often doesn’t end up effectively.”
