World number one Novak Djokovic insisted on Friday that he does not have to repair his reputation after hosting an exhibition event where he and a number of players contracted coronavirus.

Djokovic, Borna Coric and Grigor Dimitrov all tested positive after playing and socialising at the Adria Tour in Serbia and Croatia without any social distancing measures.

The players were filmed dancing and hugging together in a nightclub.

The Serbian has said he has no regrets over his actions ahead of his return to the main tour at the Western & Southern Open in New York and that he does not see his participation at the event - and the US Open which follows on the same site - as a PR exercise.
