Serbia Open May Not be Up for Sale – According to Djokovic
Serbia Open May Not be Up for Sale - According to Djokovic | 
The future of the Djokovic family’s Serbia Open ATP 250 tournament seems to be mixed, with world No. 1 Novak giving a tepid denial that the clay event will be sold and moved for it’s fifth edition in 2013.
“Not at this moment,” Djokovic’s somewhat murky response to questions of the troubled tournament’s outlook. “We are thinking what is our next step, actually right now. My home tournament is the first ever professional tennis tournament, ATP tournament, organized in Serbia, so we are very proud of it.
“We have organized it for last four years and we always try to make it better every single year. Most of the comments that we hear are positive, so that’s good to hear. But it’s taking a lot of effort and a lot of energy from my family and myself to play there. We’ll see what we’re gonna do.”
Djokovic’s uncle Goran resigned abruptly as tournament director this month, sparking reports that the ATP 250 license was up for sale after three years in Serbia. Among candidates mentioned to take over and move the tournament were interests Seville and Marbella in Spain.
