The final of the event, which would have featured world No.1 Djokovic and Russian Andrey Rublev, was cancelled as a result.Bulgarian Dimitrov earlier revealed his positive test, having joined Djokovic, world No.3 Dominic Thiem and Alexander Zverev in competing in Belgrade.

"I want to make sure anyone who has been in contact with me during these past days gets tested and takes the necessary precautions.
