    The world number 19 took to Instagram for sharing the news.

    Dimitrov's announcement comes a week after New York Governor Andrew Cuomo gave a go-ahead to US Open.

  • Earlier, the likes of Dimitrov, Borna Coric and Viktor Troicki revealed they had coronavirus after playing at Djokovic's Adria Tour competition.

    The 33-year-old Djokovic played fellow Serb Troicki in the first event in Belgrade.

    Djokovic was the face behind the Adria Tour, a series of exhibition events that started in the Serbian capital and then moved to Zadar, Croatia, last weekend.

    Adria Tour: Croatia had eased lockdown rules

  • Djokovic had left Croatia after the final was canceled and was then tested in Belgrade.

    The second event of a series of tournaments was held in Croatia.

    The nation had eased lockdown rules and players did not have to socially distance themselves, besides them hugging at the net.

    They also played basketball, posed for pictures, and attended press conferences together.

  • Information

    Several players to self-isolate for 14 days

  • Players like Alexander Zverev, Marin Cilic and Andrey Rublev, who also played the tourney, have tested negative but they will all now self-isolate for up to 14 days.

  • Several players have criticized the events, with Nick Kyrgios calling it a "boneheaded decision" to play.

    Dan Evans said it's a poor example to set.

    "I think it's a poor example to set even if the guidelines in that country are not two metres, it's not a joke, is it?," said Evans.

    Andy Murray said the positive tests were a lesson for everyone.
