Czech athlete Renata Voracova, implicated in the Djokovic incident, was notified of his visa cancellation after a week of successful entry into Australia and a game, and was taken to the "shelter" hotel where Djokovic was located. The 38-year-old woman, who was in the midst of the incident, will be interviewed by phone. Helpless but everywhere revealing the description of humiliation, so that the people who watched the interview were filled with low pressure.
Renata Voracova said she did everything I was asked to do, but the Australian Tennis Association misled the players and was very infuriating. She stressed that athletes just want to focus on playing, not on visas, quarantines, and other things. At the time of entry, the relevant personnel carefully read all her documents and did not object to the passage. The Victorian official in charge of issuing the documents also confirmed that she did not have any problems and entered Australia smoothly. Obeying the rules, going through a long process to obtain exemptions, and after doing everything the players were asked to do, they were held in a shelter, which was incomprehensible. She used the word "weird" to describe it.
She also described the process of being taken away for interrogation, saying that "I can't say they were harsh on me, but it all made me completely unprepared, and it felt like I was in an action movie and it made me very, very uncomfortable." There was a lot of security, it was very unsafe feeling, and I was helpless and no one came to help me. "The current detention measures make her very uncomfortable, everything needs to be reported, all the items are distributed, "I feel a bit like a prison here", and it has brought a very big blow to her psychology.
The reporter also asked about the current accommodation conditions, she said, "I don't think this can be called a hotel." I could only stay inside, which was a temporary shelter with good conditions. All I can say is that it ensures my health and provides me with food, but there is security in the hallway. I stuck my head out the door, they didn't yell at me and tried to help me. But the windows here are completely closed and cannot be pushed open, and security is everywhere, even under the windows. Do they think I'm going to jump and run away, it's hilarious! ”。
But because a day of detention made her very stressful and anxious, she no longer wanted to experience such a thing, and even if the appeal was not necessarily successful, and was locked up for a week can not train, even if successfully appealed, it is only two days before the Australian Open match, a little too late, so the appeal is meaningless, she will give up the appeal to return home as soon as possible.
I have to say that the Czech girl is very clear-headed, and the appeal is time-consuming, laborious and costly. She said she didn't want to waste her time in the ongoing behind-the-scenes political battle. Although the Djokovic incident has affected her, she hopes that Djokovic will win the case in court on Monday, and that Djokovic's lawyers will find loopholes in the federal government's regulations. She has a great saying, "We're just athletes, we're here to play, not to settle local strife." ”
