Kyrgios and Isner explode over the Djokovic deal in Australia

The events that Novak Djokovic has been experiencing in the last hours since his arrival in Australia and his controversial retention with problems with his visa have generated some unease in the tennis world, which criticizes the treatment and exposure to which he has been subjected Djokovic since landing in Melbourne to play the Australian Open. A wait that will last until Monday, when a court will make a decision.

Among the tennis players who have criticized the treatment that Djokovic has received, the figure of Nick Kyrgios is surprising. The Australian, who has openly criticized the Serbian on numerous occasions, said on social media that, despite everything, Djokovic is still human and deserves better treatment. “Look, I definitely think action needs to be taken. I have been vaccinated to protect others and for my mother’s health, but the way in which Djokovic’s situation is being handled is bad, very bad. Despite these memes And headlines, he’s one of our great champions, but after all, he’s human. Let’s do better. “

The American tennis player John Isner also joined in the criticism for the treatment that Novak Djokovic has received since his arrival in Australia, in a clear allusion to the action by the Australian authorities on this case. “What Novak is going through at the moment is not right. There is no justification for the treatment he is receiving. He has followed the rules, has been allowed to enter Australia and is now being detained against his will. This is a shame.”

For its part, the PTPA, the players’ association set up by Novak Djokovic, has issued a statement on the situation of Novak Djokovic, in which it states that the Serbian is well and that he will give his version of events with his words to its due time. “The Professional Tennis Players Association (PTPA) is monitoring the Australian government’s retention of tennis player Novak Djokovic. The PTPA is in close contact with Djokovic, his family and legal team, government officials and the Open director from Australia. Mr Djokovic has verified to us that he is okay. He has also allowed us to allow him to share the facts of his retention with his words and in due time. With all due respect to all personal views on vaccinations, Both vaccinated and unvaccinated tennis players (with approved medical exemption) should have the freedom to compete. We will continue to support and defend our members and all players, so that they are accepted. On the eve of the Serbian Orthodox Christmas, we are happy to know that the Mr. Djokovic is fine and being able to communicate with him. We will continue to monitor his health, safety and well-being.
