Novak Djokovic has been in touch with fellow ATP player council members Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal to discuss ways to assist lower-ranked players facing financial struggles amid the novel coronavirus outbreak, the world No. 1 said on Saturday. Answering a fan’s question during his Instagram live chat with Stan Wawrinka, player council chief Djokovic said steps would be taken to ensure that only those players who are most deserving will benefit from any relief plans. “I spoke to Roger and Rafa a few days ago and we had a conversation about the near future of tennis. How we can contribute to help lower-ranked guys who are struggling the most,” Djokovic said.
