“There is no tennis player who is above a tournament like the Australian Open & rdquor; has valued Rafael Nadal in the possible absence of Novak Djokovic, arrested and awaiting trial in which this Sunday it will be decided whether he is deported from the country.
The current world number 6 and champion in Australia in 2009 has been very cautious when giving his opinion on the situation of Djokovic. “If he plays, everything is perfect, but if not, too. I wish him the best, we have done great things together for the circuit & rdquor ;, he explained.
More forceful has been shown Daniel Medvedev , world number 2, when giving his opinion on the situation. “Yes Djokovic has a valid exemption I think he should play. The Minister of the Interior does not seem to me to have given a valid reason for withdrawing his visa. I would like to know if there is a legal reason behind it. It seems to me that it is as if he had said: “I don’t want to”.
have a similar opinion alexander zverev: “He had a valid visa. Isn’t that right? I doubt that he traveled to try his luck without guarantees that he was going to play the tournament. He is a star, if it hadn’t been him, all this drama would not have been created,” he commented German tennis player, world number 3.
