Djokovic, Coric, Grigor Dimitrov and Viktor
Troicki all tested positive during the event in Serbia and
Croatia, which was later abandoned.
"I read what he wrote, but I simply don't care because he likes
to be a general after a battle," Coric told Croatia's Jutarnji
List newspaper.
"If someone else was teaching lessons I would have understood,
but Kyrgios ... it's somehow not realistic."
Kyrgios had also criticized Alexander Zverev after a video of
the German player dancing at a crowded club emerged online
despite the world number seven pledging he would self-isolate
following his appearance at the Adria Tour.
"I agree that was not good, Zverev acted badly," said Coric.
"But I don't see the need to criticise fellow players in such a
way. I wouldn't do it, but again — it's Kyrgios."
Kyrgios shot back at Coric, saying he "should care" about his
comments.
"Do you have rocks in your head?" Kyrgios said on Twitter.
"Again, you can stand up for your mates, I'm just trying to hold
them accountable. They are tennis players, they aren't special."
