網易體育7月19日報道：
德約科維奇因阿德里亞巡回賽被集體感染事件而飽受爭議，而在目前包括他本人的多人已
經檢測為陰性，事件看起來已經告一段落的情況下，塞爾維亞球星的祖父又出來為外孫「
站台」。在德約的祖父看來，自己的外孫受批評的唯一原因是他來自塞爾維亞，因為他比
他的主要對手費德勒和納達爾都強，認為批評他的人思想很齷齪和骯髒。
自阿德里亞巡回賽因為多人感染暫停後，圍繞在德約科維奇身上的批評聲不斷，好在目前
包括他、迪米特洛夫、丘里奇Coric、特洛伊基Troicki和教練伊萬尼塞維奇在內的確診病
例目前都已經恢復了健康，而德約科維奇本人也恢復了訓練，但關於塞爾維亞人組織比賽
的初衷依然被廣泛討論。
在絕大多數聲音都反對德約的情況下，也有少數來自巴爾幹地區的人支持德約，塞爾維亞
球星的祖父自然要站在自己孫子這邊。此前，德約的老爸就沒少為兒子發聲，還多次在言
語上「攻擊」費德勒和納達爾，而他的祖父也把炮火對準了費納。
「諾瓦克惹惱了納達爾和費德勒的陣營，還有其他20個不如他的選手，因為他比他的對手
們都要強，主要就是羅傑和拉法，而因為來來自塞爾維亞這樣的一個小國，所以很多人根
本無法接受。」在接受西班牙阿斯報的採訪時，德約科維奇的祖父扎伊爾為自己的孫子進
行了辯護。
「比賽本來就是在露天場地進行，我當時也在那裡，也沒有什麼事，這又不是諾瓦克把病
毒帶過去的，當他被感染時我也很害怕，但我知道他很堅強，能夠有足夠強大的心理去承
受所遭到的攻擊。」祖父繼續說道，在他看來，人們批評他的孫子完全就是無知的體現，
只因為德約科維奇比這些批評者更出色，所以他時常會被攻擊。
「我知道他為什麼總是被批評，他們的思想非常骯髒，我能想象到對他批評的唯一原因只
是因為他是塞爾維亞人，其實很多人甚至根本不知道塞爾維亞和貝爾格萊德在哪裡，諾瓦
克比所有侮辱他的人都要出色。」看起來，德約家族是要與全世界為敵的節奏，他的父母
親就沒少發表一些引發爭議的言論，如今祖父又進入戰團，德約這一家子可真是不消停。

As per Spanish daily AS, Zdenko Zagar, Novak Djokovic's maternal grandfather,
gave an interview where he took the opportunity to defend his grandson over th
e Adria Tour controversy.
"The tournament was played in the open air," Zagar said. "There is no way Djok
ovic took the coronavirus there! I was there too and did not catch it. I was s
cared when I found out that he got infected. But I knew he was strong to recei
ve the attacks he has received."
Djokovic's grandfather, who identifies as Yugoslav or Croatian, went on to cla
im that the people criticizing his grandson were doing so out of ignorance. Za
gar believes that Djokovic is 'better' than his critics, which is the reason w
hy he is frequently targeted.
"No I know why he is constantly criticized," Zagar said. "They are dirty thoug
hts. The only reason I can think of to criticize him is for being Serbian, whe
n many do not know where Serbia and Belgrade are. He is better and more famous
than everyone who insults him."

Zagar then added that since his grandson is the World No. 1 and superior to hi
s rivals on tour, the other players feel 'annoyed'.
"Everything is explained because Djokovic annoys Nadal, Federer and the other
20 who are below him. I'm not going to comment on it. I should ignore them," c
oncluded Zagar.
