“It seems correct to me. Justice is what has to speak in this case, I am always a defender of justice in all causes. Regardless of whether or not I may agree with Djokovic on some things, justice has spoken and he says that he has the right to participate in the Australian Open. If this has been resolved, it is the fairest thing. All the luck for him, “he declared in an interview with the Onda Cero program ‘More than one’.

In addition, the Balearic said that it is better for the oceanic ‘Grand Slam’ to have “the best on the track.” “On a personal level, I much prefer that he not play,” he said with a laugh. “Many interests move around sports, especially economic and advertising, and it is much better when the best are playing. They give more interest,” he said.

The one from Manacor reiterated his confidence in vaccines and regretted the level of tension that reigns in social networks. “The issue of social networks has radicalized the world a lot, there is a free letter to be able to express oneself and say many things that later are not said to the face. Each one has to be free to make their own decisions, but each decision has its consequences “he explained.

“I do know about tennis, I know less about other things, and I try to listen and obey the people who know about each subject. All the most important institutions in the world say that the vaccine is the way to stop this pandemic and the disaster that we are facing. living for the last 20 months. I try to follow what they say, I am not being smarter or less intelligent for doing it. All the debate that is generated around it is a circus, “he continued.

In another vein, Nadal spoke of his positive for COVID-19 at the end of December. “I was coming from a tour in the Middle East. I had three negative CRPs in five days, and I started to feel pretty bad on the journey home. I never thought I had COVID-19 because I had negative CRPs, the last hours before. When I got home, the first thing I did was go to the hospital. I didn’t want to see my mother and anyone I knew so as not to spread it. I tested positive and told everyone I had to notify, “he said.

However, he managed to recover and win his first title of 2022 this Sunday in Melbourne. “They have been difficult months. I have had a lot of problems with my foot, confinement … I have returned to racing and things have gone reasonably well. many months without competing, beyond winning or losing, the important thing was to be back on a track officially. I have competed and I have tried to recover all the positive feelings, “he stressed.

Finally, he did not want to discuss his meeting with the King Emeritus in Abu Dhabi. “I have known King Juan Carlos for many years, he is a great sports fan and I was able to share a few hours with him. How I saw him, I prefer to reserve,” he concluded, without commenting on his possible return to Spain.
