Still also support for Novak Djokovic from tennis world | Tennis

sport">“Novak would never have gone to Australia if he had not been granted an exemption from the government,” Pospisil wrote on Twitter. He would have skipped the Australian Open and stayed at home with his family. No one would have talked about this mess then. With the elections approaching, a political agenda was at stake here, that is very clear. This is not his fault. He did not invade the country, nor did he make his own rules, as is said. He was ready to just stay home.” The 31-year-old Canadian had previously been critical of the attitude of tennis association ATP, which has remained aloof in the dispute between Djokovic and the Australian authorities for the past week and a half.

sport">The Serbian number 1 in the world would face compatriot Miomir Kecmanovic in the first round of the Australian Open on Monday. However, a day before the start of the grand slam tournament, Djokovic was expelled from the country. “Our small Serbian team in Melbourne is outraged and disappointed,” Kecmanovic wrote on Instagram. “I was delighted to have the honor of opening the tournament against the best player in the world at the Rod Laver Arena. We are now going to try to avenge him here,” said the 22-year-old Serb, who now faces the Italian ‘lucky loser’ Salvatore Caruso.

sport">John Isner, Alizé Cornet and Nick Kyrgios, among others, also expressed support for Djokovic via social media. “I don’t know enough about it to assess the situation,” Cornet said. “But I do know that Novak is always the first to commit to the players. But none of us stood up for him now. Stay strong, Novak.”
