The consequences of everything he lived Novak Djokovic in the medium and long term they are yet to be seen, but what is evident is that the Balkan is very hurt by many of the things he suffered and wants to change the perception that many people have of him, something for which he claims his honesty and sincerity, with words and actions. In an interesting interview for SportClubwho has been number 1 in the world for 361 weeks, reflected on some very specific aspects related to the vaccine, his deportation from Australia and how his public image may suffer after this episode, also wanting to distance himself from political issues.
Has he already morally overcome what happened in Australia?
“I cannot erase everything that happened from my mind, there were many things that had a great impact on me and I am unable to forget them, I had never experienced anything like it. The only thing I can do is accept what happened and move on. You are not leaving me to see running away from my responsibilities or hide. I am open to answering any question that is asked of me, as evidenced by the fact that I called the BBC to explain everything. It is a medium that has not been well behaved especially with me, that’s why I wanted you to They were the ones who interviewed me. We talked for an hour and a half and they only published half an hour, but I showed that I have nothing to hide because I wanted those who have criticized me the most to ask me questions, “argued the Balkan.
Victim of a public humiliation
“Some people think that I tried to politicize the issue and enter the country to attract attention and for political reasons. Nothing could be further from the truth. For me, sport has always been above politics. I traveled to Australia because I am athlete and wanted to compete; if I didn’t speak up until some time had passed, it was out of respect for my teammates. A very ugly image of me was created and they humiliated me worldwide. For this reason, I consider it essential to have the opportunity to explain myself and answer anything you ask me. I parroted the BBC journalists that there were other people with the same exemption as me and they were able to get in and play a tournament. Why did they only go for them after I got here? ?”, drops the Serb.
Criticism received for not getting vaccinated
“I know that many people will continue to criticize me because I have incomprehensible attitudes for them, but the only thing I ask is that, even if they do not understand me, they respect me, as I do with everyone. Not getting vaccinated is my decision, I am aware of the consequences and I know that It’s not up to me to be able to go to Indian Wells or Wimbledon, but I don’t think I’m putting anyone in danger, all I want is for the ability to decide to be respected”, reveals a Novak Djokovic who continues to enjoy tennis. “I am grateful and proud for everything I have achieved, this sport has given me a lot and I try not to be affected by the fact that people love me or not. I know that there are many very sensationalist media.”
