After Novak Djokovic was deprived of his residence visa twice, he had to be deported to Serbia, and the legendary John McEnroe came forward, who did not support everything that happened to him in the past days.
- “It’s amazing what happened in these 12 days. It’s sad how it all ended. I watched everything play out. I watched the show “Saturday Night Live”, the guy who played Joe Biden said “I want to know what’s going on with Novak Djokovic.” That was about two hours before they decided to deport him. ” McEnroe began.
- “This is totally sh..t. If he decides not to get the vaccine and the Australian authorities say ‘you can’t come in unless you’re vaccinated’, that’s the end of the story, black or white. He decides whether he wants it or not. He has strong beliefs and holds on to them. The guy won the tournament nine times. It was brave. I have to congratulate him. “
- “I won seven slams, he won 20, the reason he has more than me is because he is willing to take risks, to go down there. We are talking about a guy who will potentially break all the records of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, and who is willing to go so far as to say, “I will not get vaccinated, but I will do whatever it takes,” John Mcenroe added.
He criticized the Australian authorities.
- “Government… The idea that the government and these people were not in collusion with each other… Sorry, I don’t believe that. Everyone knew what was happening. You told Darren Cahill at the opening, he said he was in quarantine for 28 days, 14 days when he came to Melbourne and 14 days in New York / Miami, where you were also. So people protested, but government people gave him an exemption. You can’t do this after that, it’s ridiculous. The ban lasts for three years, but they have the opportunity to change all that under the right circumstances, which will be considered later. “- concluded John McEnroe.
Novak will not announce himself during the Grand Slam.
