Djokovic, the world's first, was granted a medical exemption to participate in the Australian Open, but the entry visa was cancelled by australian customs, triggering the Serbian president to speak out for assistance. Djokovic was forced to withdraw his Australian Open and appeal, setting off a big wave of public opinion and becoming the latest topic of conversation, many people are talking about it, so let's listen to the views of tennis players and other people engaged in tennis.
Nadal
"Since I didn't know all the details, I couldn't evaluate it. My only point is that I believe in people who understand medicine, so they say I'm going to get vaccinated, I'm going to get vaccinated. The clearest thing is that if you get vaccinated, you can participate in the Australian Open.
I'm not encouraging anyone to get vaccinated because everyone should make choices that work in their own favor. But if you don't get vaccinated, you may have difficulties and troubles. Many people have died of the virus in recent years, and those who understand medicine say that vaccines are the only way to solve the current dilemma.
The world has had enough suffering, get vaccinated. If he (Djokovic) wants to, there is no doubt that he can play in Australia, and it is up to him to decide. Everyone is free to make a choice, but there are consequences that follow, right? ”
Deminaar
"It's really funny, that's all I can say... But, hey... it is what it is 。 ”
Medvedev
"It's not easy to say. If Djokovic can obtain immunity through the fairness rule, then he should be here; if he doesn't, then he shouldn't be here. Seriously, it sounds like it's simple, but in reality it's not that simple. And I don't know all the details of the matter either. Well, this is indeed a slot cake. ”
Zverev
"Everyone has their own decisions, I'm not a politician. I would never say anything bad about Djokovic, but I don't know much about the details of the matter, so I can't defend him. Last year he had supported Djokovic getting a medical exemption.
Becker
Djokovic and the other five players involved in the draw have medical exemptions – he deals directly with Australian Open officials, which is a professional practice. He didn't break any of the rules, but some Australians haven't seen their families for a year and a half or two (several lockdowns, quarantine policies, etc.). I understand the public outcry, but I want to defend Djokovic a little bit, because he wouldn't have come on a plane without an exemption.
Djokovic's failure to vaccinate was a huge mistake. It would threaten his career, as well as the chance to cement the greatest player in his history. ”
Kyrgios
"I absolutely believe that action has to be taken [to contain the outbreak] and that I myself have chosen to get vaccinated for the health of my mum and other people, but the way we (the Australians concerned) have handled this djokovic is terrible, really bad." He's one of our great champions, and at the end of the day, he's human. Please do better. ”
Berrettini
"I sympathize with Djokovic. Nobody wants to get to this point, I don't know he's stuck there for hours, but I can understand why Australians obviously feel this way (anger). I think Melbourne is the longest lockdown city in the world. It's a difficult situation to comment on and it's really complicated. What I can tell you is that I was vaccinated and I am here. ”
Troyki
"It's a nightmare for tennis, one of the world's greatest athletes and champions, who actually suffered from such treatment. I don't remember any other world champion who didn't let him in. It's already a huge scandal, it has nothing to do with tennis, it has nothing to do with sports, it's purely political game! ”
Fie Lopez
"Nobody wants the world number one to leave without playing a Grand Slam game, and sometimes a bad start can have a worse ending. Australia has done very badly in all this, so unfortunate. ”
Sandgren
"To be clear; two separate medical councils approved his immunity, and politicians are blocking him. Australia does not deserve to host Grand Slam tournaments. (Source: House of Tennis Author: Stray Rabbit)
