ATP主席：曾建議德約表演賽採取預防措施 巡回賽和美網需更加小心

阿德里亞表演賽持續發酵，並陷入輿論漩渦，一石激起千層浪。眾多批評之聲指向賽事組
織者德約科維奇。兩天前，德約科維奇確認新冠檢測呈陽性，妻子也一同感染。另外三名
感染的球員分別是迪米特洛夫、丘里奇Coric以及特洛伊基Troicki。體育界眾多媒體批評
該表演賽不適當的安全措施，這給運動員和觀眾帶來了風險。

ATP主席高登茲接受《紐約時報》採訪時表示，他曾建議參加阿德里亞表演賽的觀眾採取
必要的預防措施，並尊重社交距離，但顯然沒有人這樣做。然而，ATP沒有權力對非官方
的表演賽施加規則：

「很明顯，我為球員們感到難過，希望他們盡快康復。」

「我知道有一些批評，但另一方面，警醒ATP和美國網球協會必須非常小心，因為即使採
取非常嚴格的措施，一些球員還是可能會感染，球員們沒有必要為了測試結果而互相擁抱
。」

「所以我們都在冒險，這有點像告訴你的孩子學騎自行車時要戴頭盔，他們說不、不、不
，然後繼續騎車，直到摔倒才會戴上。」

「現在我們都知道這很容易發生，所以我們會更加小心。」

ATP計劃於8月中旬恢復辦賽，率先舉辦的是華盛頓公開賽，隨後辛辛那提大師賽移師至紐
約進行，而美網將於8月31日-9月13日開打。

Andrea Gaudenzi, the ATP chairman, said the tour had recommended that players
competing on the Adria Tour and in other unsanctioned events take “proper pre
cautions and respect social distancing.” But ultimately the ATP had no jurisd
iction to impose safety regulations.

“Obviously we feel sorry for the players,” Gaudenzi said in a telephone inte
rview. “We want them to recover as soon as possible. I know there has been a
lot of criticism, but on the other hand, we at the ATP, the U.S.T.A., and ever
ybody, we have to be careful because we also have to be conscious that even wi
th extreme measures, you could actually end up having some players testing pos
itive. You don’t need players and people hugging each other for someone to te
st positive. So we’re all running the risk.”

The positive tests on the Adria Tour could help make subsequent events safer,
Gaudenzi said, by making players more willing to stay in the restricted enviro
nment imposed to reduce the risk of infection.

“It’s a little bit like when you tell your kids when they try to learn to ri
de the bike to wear the helmet,” Gaudenzi said. “It’s ‘no, no, no’. And t
hey ride the bike, they fall, and then they wear the helmet. Now we all know w
e can get this very easily, so we’re going to be even more careful, and maybe
we will have a little bit more tolerance toward the bubble.”
