Australian Open leader: “I want Djokovic to play”

Clearly in favor of his participation Novak Djokovic in the Australian Open said the head of the event, Craig Tilly. He avoided taking responsibility for the fiasco, both communicatively and effectively, of banning a Serbian tennis player from entering the country because he was unvaccinated.

«The information we had and gave to the athletes at the specific times was correct. Do not forget that there will always be cases outside of tennis, visitors to the country seeking medical exemption. We put two panels to look at the applications. We are not going to blame anyone. Every week we talked to the authorities to make sure we were doing the right thing. The confusion with information has to do with the diversity that exists in the environment constantly“, He stressed.

«We did our best to bring the tennis players here. I want to see Djokovic play in the Australian Open“, He added clearly. Something to be expected, after all, since an absence of the number one in the world rankings will be a commercial blow to the event.
