After Djokovic struggled to qualify, Djokovic spoke out at a press conference and once again made his views clear.
Djokovic said: "I will always condemn the war, I will never support the war, because I myself am the child who grew up in the war." I know how much trauma has been left emotionally because of the war. ”
For Wimbledon on Wednesday, it will ban Russian and Belarusian players from participating in this year's Wimbledon and call on other British tournaments to implement the policy together, which means that players such as Medvedev and Sabalenka will not qualify for this grass major event and will not be able to participate in other grass sports events in the UK in Eastbourne, Nottingham and Birmingham.
Djokovic said it was a "crazy" decision. And bluntly, "Athletes, tennis players, they have nothing to do with it (war)." When politics intervenes in sports, there is never a good outcome. ”
Yes, there should be more people standing up against war, whatever your reason, war is inhumane.
But it should also maintain the purity of sports, politics and sports can not be mixed together, Djokovic is using his world number one influence, for humanity to speak out, hope that the world will hear his voice.
