According to Jutarnji, Dimitrov felt the symptoms but didn’t report. He also attended a basketball match and a meeting involving children.

If he’s reported a lot of what happened could have been avoided, and players like Boran, Novak, and many others could’ve saved from been infected.

As the blame was put squarely on Grigor Dimitrov, the organisers were pretty blunt in his criticism.

“He is to blame for everything that happened and that more people became infected. His behavior is unforgivable. If he had reported in time, the virus would not have spread. He endangered everyone’s health. He felt unwell and had a fever, but missed the opportunity to test for COVID-19. On Saturday, he played with Borna Coric, losing 36 minutes and then giving up his second game of the evening. But left a loophole to play with Novak Djokovic on Sunday.” Jutarnji stated.

“In the morning of the same day he returned to Monaco by private plane, where he had already tested. In the evening he officially announced that he was infected in Zadar, they are seriously worried, as Grigor Dimitrov has been in the city and participated in various public events since Thursday.” the Croatian daily added.

This statement and everything that happened might put Dimitrov in tough spot.

“He first participated in a basketball game, then had meetings with children, and at the end of the day he was among the 70 guests at the Niko restaurant for an official dinner.” it further stated.

Jutarnji added in it’s statement, “in my opinion, most of the infected will come from the basketball match. They were the most closed contacts there, including between Dimitrov and Novak. It is not excluded that all participants are infected.”
