Croatia&#x27;s Borna Coric has told fans he is feeling well and experiencing no symptoms after contracting the novel coronavirus at Novak Djokovic&#x27;s controversial Adria Tour tournament.Djokovic, Coric, Grigor Dimitrov and Viktor Troicki all tested positive for COVID-19 after playing in the event in Serbia and Croatia, which drew big crowds and saw the players pose for pictures together.World No. 1 Djokovic, who organised the charity event, has come in for heavy criticism after the players were pictured hugging at the net, playing basketball and partying together.&quot;A few days have passed since I tested positive for Covid-19,&quot; world number 33 Coric said on Twitter, with a picture of him standing on a treadmill.&quot;I&#x27;m extremely grateful that I still feel well and don&#x27;t have any symptoms ... TY very much for all the messages of love and support I have received whilst isolating.&quot;Djokovic has apologised and said the timing of the event was &quot;too soon&quot; while world number three Dominic Thiem, who played in the Belgrade leg, said players behaved &quot;too euphorically&quot;.Djokovic&#x27;s compatriot, Manchester United midfielder Nemanja Matic, came to his defence, saying there has been a &quot;campaign&quot; against him despite the event breaking no local rules.In an open letter published by Serbian media, Matic said the &quot;mice&quot; had came out of their holes to criticise Djokovic.&quot;Very soon the cat will be on the court, and the mice back in the hole,&quot; he wrote. &quot;The only thing I hold against Novak is that he apologised to the mice who criticise him for no reason.&quot;No, Nole. They will apologise to you - soon.&quot; (Reporting by Sudipto Ganguly in Mumbai; editing by Peter Rutherford)<div>For more sports coverage, visit the <a href="http://sports.abs-cbn.com/">ABS-CBN Sports website</a>.</div>
