While το is in full swing thriller on whether Novak Djokovic will eventually be allowed to stay in Melbourne or deported, the Australian Open shaken by a new scandal.
THE Bernard Tomic, An Australian tennis player who participated in the qualifiers, made a complaint to the referee during his match with Roman Safiulin, with open microphones, that they allow athletes to participate in the tournament by doing only rapid and not PCR tests. In fact, on the occasion of the fatigue he felt during the match, he said loudly that maybe he already has coronavirus!
«I am sure that in the next two days I will be positive for the coronavirus. I will treat you to dinner if I do not come out positive in three days. Otherwise you will treat me“, He said addressing the referee, knowing that the open microphones for the television broadcast recorded everything, and added:”I can not believe that they do not give molecular tests. They let players who only do rapid tests get on the court. Come now! There is officially no PCR test».
Tomic, who eventually lost 6-1 and 6-4, revealed after the match via Instagram that doctors recommended his isolation. «I feel bad. I’m at the hotel. As soon as I spoke to the doctors on the pitch I was told to isolate myself. They could not take care of me so that we would not get in touch. I am disappointed. I wanted to make the Australians proud and perform well on the court“, He stated.
