Rafael Nadal has said that the Australian Open is “more important than an individual player” in the wake of Serbian star Novak Djokovic’s deportation from Australia.
The first Grand Slam of the year starts in Australia on Monday. “The Australian Open is a great tournament with or without Djokovic,” Nadal said.
The Australian government has taken a second step to revoke Djokovic’s visa following allegations that he attended events with a corona infection. The Australian government branded him a threat to public order.
The Australian government is adamant that it will not allow Djokovic to be vaccinated. Djokovic is the 21st degree holder to have won the title. Which means it’s about to be the most delusional time of the year, as well.
“I respect Djokovic as an athlete. But I can not respect what he has done for the last 2 weeks. This controversy has gone so far as to be a little tiring. The situation itself is exhausting. I think we need to talk about tennis, the game is bigger than the individual, the Australian Open Grand Slam is bigger than Djokovic, ”Nadal said.
