• Australian Open Djokovic appeals the cancellation of his visa and Australia agrees to delay his deportation

  • Djokovic Upset after the placet granted to Djokovic: "If I were the one not vaccinated, there would have been no exemption"

Rafa Nadal, who has no special sympathy for his great rival Novak Djokovic, said this Thursday that the Serbian tennis player must bear the consequences of not having been vaccinated against the coronavirus.

The world tennis

number one

was detained by border police upon arrival in

Australia

on Wednesday, and his visa was canceled for failing to comply with the requirements regarding

Covid

vaccination to enter the country.

Djokovic , who can be expelled from the country, filed an appeal to stay and play the

Australian Open from

January 17

, where both he and the Spaniard aspire to win a 21st

Grand Slam title

.

Nadal contracted Covid last month and claims that the vaccine is the best way to stop a pandemic that "has killed so many people."

"I have had Covid and I have received two doses of the vaccine. If you get vaccinated you have no problem playing here. That is the only thing that is clear," he said in Melbourne, after winning his first individual match on the

ATP tour

.

"For me the only thing that is clear is that if you have been vaccinated you can play the

Australian Open

and anywhere, and in my opinion the world has suffered enough not to follow the rules,"

Nadal

explained .

Djokovic

"has made his own decisions, and everyone is free to do so, but that has consequences," added the Spanish tennis player.

"Of course I do not like this situation, and in some way I feel sorry for him," he added.

Djokovic

has refused to publicly explain whether he has received the vaccine or not, but has previously expressed his opposition to being inoculated against the

coronavirus

.
