Despite not being Novak Djokovic’s biggest fan and disagreeing with his stance on vaccination, Chris Evert was forced to acknowledge that the Serbian player was essential to the men’s tour. . Especially when Rafael Nadal is at the top of his game.
“Every time Novak Djokovic takes part in a tournament, it’s better for tennis. It’s more exciting for everyone. And the fact that he is one of the few players who can cause Nadal problems on clay makes me happy that he can play at Roland‐Garros. I’ve always been a huge fan of the Big 3 players and their rivalry. I’m curious to see what will happen. I have immense respect for anyone who has their convictions and believes in them to the end. I’m a big supporter of the vaccine because I truly believe it helps fight the virus and saves lives. So it’s a mixed feeling. I admire and respect Novak because he does what he feels. He is very honest and upfront with how he feels. On the other hand, I’m a big proponent of the vaccine. All I’m saying is I’m not judging Novak one way or the other. »
