Again, this is something that would never happen to Roger or Rafa, and it's been happening for years now.

Roger or Rafa would never have hosted a tournament in the midst of a pandemic lol. You can complain about the 'media treatment' and perception of Djokovic over the years, that fans have not been generous enough towards him for various reasons, etc. But don't pretend that his decision to hold a tournament in early June with fans and to bring players from different regions together to play and go to parties was an okay idea -- and that it is simply not deserving of any criticism. Of course he is going to catch some flak when half of the players including himself got covid.

Honestly I think he likely wins this tournament easily. Perhaps Thiem, Raonic, or Medvedev could pose some problems for him. But that's about it.
