Dušan Lajović was asked a week ago about Djokovic and this what he said.
Why was this granted so last minute? Was he actually denied entry initially for the ATP Cup?
“He was, I think, hoping the same as we did, that somehow he will be here, but unfortunately he’s not and we’ve got to deal with it.”
Asked the reason for Djokovic’s withdrawal, Lajovic, who made the fourth round at the 2021 Australian Open, said he was as much in the dark as everyone else and he hadn’t discussed that with him.
“I don’t know the official reason but maybe the ATP knows,” he said.
“(Djokovic) just said that he’s not coming to the ATP Cup and he’s trying to get to the Australian Open.
“He said, ‘I’m not coming guys to the ATP Cup; we’ll see about the Australian Open’. I mean, he didn’t specify if he’s coming or not but that he’s waiting for a decision.”
