At noon Beijing time yesterday, the Australian Open suddenly announced that the lottery ceremony scheduled to start at 12 o'clock was postponed, followed by Prime Minister Morrison's press conference, and all walks of life speculated that these two events may be significantly related to Germany and The Company.
Morrison talked about the epidemic, medical care and people's livelihood, and did not mention Deyo. The Australian Open then held a draw, with men's singles top seed Djokovic taking on Kezmanovic in the first round, followed by potential opponents in the following rounds: Paul, Sonnego, Monfils, Berrettini, Zverev/Nadal, Medvedev/Tsitsipas.
Although the signature has been withdrawn, The Sword of Damocles still hangs above His head, and he may be cancelled again. Earlier, on January 10, Deyo's team of lawyers won the visa cancellation lawsuit with "procedural justice". The ATP welcomed the verdict while once again urging all players to be vaccinated, believing that it is vital to the smooth running of the global fight against the pandemic and tennis events, and revealed that 97% of the top 100 players have been vaccinated.
In essence, the Deyo visa case exposed the differences between people on anti-epidemic policies and vaccinations, and Deyo's position in the case was different from Serena's boycott of Indian Wells in 2001.
Combing through Deyo's past remarks, we find that he has gone through a complex process from "opposing vaccines" to "doubting vaccines" to "neither taking a stance nor vaccinating", all the way to "not disclosing his vaccination status". The January 10 case revealed that he was still not vaccinated.
During the trial, the lawyers showed the various supporting documents that Deyo had provided, and the presiding judge, Kelly, told the federal lawyer, "(To get entry permits) I don't see what this man (Deyo) can do." ”
In response to the presiding judge's question, many netizens replied on the internet media - "Vaccinations!" ”
Seemingly complex problems actually have the simplest solutions. As long as Deyo had been vaccinated like most people, there would have been no such a boiling case.
Of course, vaccination is an individual right, and no one can force deyo vaccination. However, if Deyo insists on his health philosophy and refuses to be vaccinated, then he will have to bear the consequences of this - you have the right not to be vaccinated, and others have the right to refuse you to participate.
Some argue that the Victorian government has given Djokovic a vaccine exemption, and that he should be allowed to compete. However, allowing entry does not mean allowing entry, because whether to allow entry is the competence of the federal government, and the reason for Deyo's application for vaccine exemption does not meet the federal government's regulations, which is the core issue of the visa case.
The court ruled deyo a lawsuit because the federal government had flaws in its enforcement procedures. If the federal government cancels Djokovic visas again, it is believed that they are unlikely to make the same procedural mistakes as the last time, and even if Djokovic files a lawsuit again, it is expected that it will be difficult to win the second case.
Although he won the case on January 10, Deyo also paid a huge price, the supporting documents he submitted were made public one by one, and people soon discovered a series of problems such as his failure to truthfully declare his itinerary and his public participation in the event after the second infection.
These problems could have been left unpublished, but now they had to be made public in order to win the case, and Deyo had to spend more effort to explain them to the public, and it was difficult for him to say them satisfactorily and accept them to everyone.
Not only is it difficult for the public to accept his explanation, but the relevant departments will also investigate these clues. For example, The Australian Department of Immigration is investigating the documents de York submitted, which will largely determine whether to cancel his visa again. What's more, concealing the trip could result in a 12-month prison sentence in Australia.
Not only In Australia, serbian Prime Minister Bonabić also claimed to investigate Djokovic's participation in social activities after contracting the new crown virus. Under the country's laws, violating epidemic prevention regulations and endangering public safety can face a three-year prison sentence.
From this point of view, Deyo won the case is not easy, but there will be a series of new troubles. This goes back to the very beginning – if Djokovic could have foreseen all this until now, would he still insist on coming to the Australian Open?
Tennis star Navnatilova commented, "Now Novak's best choice should be to go home, but I don't think he will do it, he is bent on winning the 21st Grand Slam title." ”
In order to achieve his goal of surpassing Federer Nadal's 20 Grand Slam titles, Djokovic gambled almost all of his wealth, taking huge risks and putting himself on the edge of the cliff again and again. On the pitch, Djokovic had similar experiences many times, and also created a miracle of Jedi counterattack and reversal of the game.
In the past week, in order to win the 21st Grand Slam title at the Australian Open, Djokovic has single-handedly fought against the powerful Australian federal government, willing to risk the world to refuse vaccinations, the bet is not small, the cost is not much, and the price paid is not expensive.
How to choose, of course, is Deyo's personal freedom. But when he becomes an idol of countless people, he cannot come entirely by his own nature, and he must consider the huge social impact that his actions may have. When you become a star and a public figure, you carry more social responsibility than ordinary people, you must give up some freedom and rights, set an example for the public, which is the price you have to pay for accepting the cheers of countless people.
Djokovic's plight provoked a backlash in Serbia, with countless people taking to the streets for him to protest the "injustice and political persecution" he had suffered in Australia, which had evolved into hatred of a country.
And have the Protesters in Serbia ever thought that the indignation that Deyo provoked in Australia was no less than that in Serbia? Have you ever wondered how much the people of Melbourne have paid for the fight against the epidemic?
Taking a step back, did de Novo, who refused to be vaccinated, consider the feelings of the vaccinated players? Have you ever considered how players who are forced to give up the Australian Open because they are not vaccinated? Have you considered the feelings of the Australian Open staff, referees, caddies?
Former coach Berke warned Djokovic, "When you enter the stadium, be prepared to be booed by the Melbourne audience. In order to be able to participate in other competitions, Becker strongly advises Djokovic to get vaccinated as soon as possible, "You have to distinguish between the two and the other, when you reach my age and remember all this now, you will regret it." 」 ”
Nadal, who has been vaccinated, said that humans have been suffering from the virus for too long, and Deyo's choice has reference significance for people around the world.
Navnatinova believes that the rhetorical statements of Deyo's parents will not help at all and will only make things worse, "Novak has a responsibility to calm the Serbian fans, I believe 95% of Serbian fans support him, but the rest of the world, 95% of the people are the opposite." If he wants to be a leader, he must sacrifice himself for the good of all. ”
With the global pandemic still not effectively under control, countries must unite and work together to win this war as soon as possible. As the world's first and with countless supporters, Deyo should set an example and example for the world, rather than let people have more divisions and tear apart the turbulent world.
Deyo's father said that his son was spartacus in the New World, but in fact he was more like the butterfly that flapped its wings in the South American rainforest before the storm. (Source: Tennis House Author: Yun Cirrus Yunshu)
