Tennis Australia has made it mandatory for players to be vaccinated to travel to Australia for summer tournaments, including the Australian Open. Since then, there has been a protracted debate over whether to impose an individual decision such as vaccinating players.

Number 1 of the World Novak Djokovic It has been made clear time and time again that immunization should be a personal choice and should not be mandatory. Since the announcement from the Victorian chief, it has been speculated that Djokovic will miss the Australian Open as he has no intention of getting vaccinated.

his father, Srdjan Djokovic recently spoke out on the matter and criticized the authorities. He said vaccination is a very private matter and its status need not be made public.

“Regarding vaccines and not vaccinating, it is an individual right of each of us whether we are vaccinated or not. No one has the right to enter into that intimacy, which is guaranteed by the constitution. Everyone has the right to make decisions about their own health. “Vaccinated, that’s his exclusive right. He’s going to publish it, I don’t think so. I don’t know that decision either, and if I did, I wouldn’t share it with you either. He has the right to decide what he wants.” Srdjan Djokovic said.

Papa Djokovic later called the announcement ‘shameful’ for calling out the nine-time Australian Open champion. He even said that ‘blackmailing’ Novak to get vaccinated is unacceptable and if their stance remains as strict as it is today, Novak will not compete in Australia this January.

“It’s a shame because of the proclamation by Australian provincial rulers who claim to be entitled to name the nine-time Australian champion.” he say.

“Whether he shows up there depends on how they will pose. He wants it with all his heart because he’s an athlete, and we love that too. Under these conditions and blackmail, he probably won’t. I will not do that. And it’s my son, so you decide for yourself. “

Srdjan then attacked Tennis Australia CEO and tournament director of the Australian Open, Craig Tiley, in which players who are only vaccinated with approved vaccines will participate.

“What is a recognized vaccine, Mr. Craig? Is it not a recognized Russian? “ Srjan Djokovic asked. “According to our criteria, only Chinese and Russian are recognized. The liberal world has 90 percent of the world’s population. For us, it’s Russian and Chinese. Recognize them and your vaccines, with joy “I don’t think that’s true, because you don’t recognize Russian and Chinese.”
