Novak Djokovic of Serbia, the world’s number one tennis player, has stuck to one of his insistence. That is, I will not reveal whether I have taken the dose of corona vaccine or not. They have to bear the brunt of this continuously. Last week, he was denied participation in two important tennis events, the Indian Wells and the Miami Open, because he had to come to the US to participate in these events. But due to the corona rules in America, he was still not allowed to come without a dose of corona vaccine. Whereas the organizers of the Indian Wells Tennis Competition had even given them a place in the draw of the matches. Djokovic was also ready to play here.
Even before this, Djokovic had to miss the Australian Open due to his stubbornness. He was approved in deportation when a three-judge bench of the Federal Court there, agreeing to Immigration Minister Alex Hawke’s appeal to cancel Djokovic’s visa, considering the health of the public as paramount. After this, Djokovic, facing defeat in front of his insistence, had to fly without playing after this ruckus that lasted for 10 days and was exiled from there.
In a way, he could say that he has denied himself the opportunity of becoming the 21st and most Grand Slam winner of his career by taking such a stubbornness to distance himself from his favorite Grand Slam, which he has won the most nine times. . Rafael Nadal got the advantage of Djokovic’s absence and he won the 21st Grand Slam of his life and won the historic record for most Grand Slam wins.
Djokovic has not only lost the opportunity to make history at his favorite Grand Slam ground, but also faces a three-year ban on deportation if Australia’s visa is revoked. . One more thing, out of the top hundred tennis players, ninety-five have taken not one but two doses. If 98 percent players of the world’s 10 big sports leagues and almost all sports have been fully vaccinated, then Djokovic should also not hesitate, because he is the number one tennis player and a role model for the youth of the world. He should have inspired his loved ones to get the dose done by getting the dose himself. But don’t know why Djokovic’s mind was against the vaccine from the beginning.
Just as after several days of dramatic developments, Djokovic was forced to leave Australia without playing his favorite tennis Grand Slam without playing his wrongful stubbornness. After that, now again deprived of showing his flair in two important competitions, it is not right in any sense for a sensible and the emperor of his game to let his dear tennis lovers down with his stubbornness.
Let’s assume that when even big tournaments costing crores could not be organized or canceled in time to save lives of people due to corona epidemic, then understanding the importance of doses of corona vaccines to a single person and taking care of the health of others. Should do Many great tennis players have said that there is no bigger player than the safety of the game and the general public.
Only two and a half months of the year have passed. Two months later, there is to be a prestigious Grand Slam like French in May and Wimbledon in June and there are many tournaments to be held apart from these. And wherever it happens, every country will have its own policy regarding corona whether they allow playing without corona dose or not. Djokovic would be at a great loss if the dose was needed.
