Mats Wilander, champion of seven ‘Grand Slam’ titles and now a commentator for Eurosport, talks about the deportation of Novak Djokovic, who will leave Melbourne in a few hours on an Emirates flight to Dubi.
“I am surprised and in shock, as well as a little tired of hearing about this story for a weekWilander explains.
The Swedish legend shows his admiration for the number one “for having tried to play until the last moment, but he knew that the best way to enter the country was to get vaccinated as the rest of his teammates had done. Djokovic’s absence is bad for him.” tennis, but at the same time it means that there will be a new champion”.
On whether the decision to deport the Serbian player is fair, Wilander bases himself on the data: “I think it’s fair if you look at the people who have died from Covid and Australians have suffered the harshest restrictions from their government. The judge’s decision can change the history of our sport“.
