Top tennis player Novak Djokovic opened fire after he was banned from entering Australia to participate in the Australian Open because he was unvaccinated, his opponent, Rafael Nadal, said, however, noting that he knew the consequences of arriving at the Australian Open without being vaccinated.
“It is normal for people here in Australia to be very disappointed with the case, because they have gone through many, very difficult lockdowns. Many people have not been able to return home,” Nadal said. “If you have been vaccinated, you can play in the Australian Open and everywhere, and people in my opinion have suffered enough not to follow the rules.”
Asked specifically about Djokovic’s non-issuance of a visa, Nadal simply said that “if you do not want to get the vaccine, you will face some problems.”
Nadal added: “I think if he wanted to, he would play here in Australia without a problem. He made his own decisions, and everyone is free to make their own decisions, but there are some consequences. Of course I do not like this situation. Somehow I feel sorry for him. But at the same time, he knew for many months what he had to do and what was valid, so he made his own decisions. “
“After many deaths in the last two years, my feeling is that the vaccine is the only way to stop this pandemic,” he said.
He expressed his confidence in the medical community, stressing that “the only thing I can say is that I believe what those who know medicine say. “If they say we should be vaccinated, then we should be vaccinated, that is my view.”
It is noted that Djokovic, who is in a quarantine hotel, is expected to be deported in the next few hours, as his visa application was rejected.
