Toni Nadal: “If everyone had done what Novak did with the vaccine, there would have been ten times more deaths”

uncle of Rafael Nadal was very critical of the attitude Novak Djokovic. Tony Nadal in an interview given Spanish, addressed the issue of vaccination against covid 19 and consequently commented on the Serbian tennis player’s decision not to be vaccinated. “If everyone had done what Novak did, there would have been ten times more dead,” said the one who was the Spanish coach.

Djokovic was never against vaccines, but against the free decision to do what he wants with his body. But his opinion brought him several sporting embarrassments. As he was not vaccinated against covid, he could not play doubles Grand Slam past 2022: australian open and US Open. He did not even compete in the last 1000 Masters organized in United States and North America.

The Serbian came to travel to Australia in 2022 despite restrictions to compete in the Grand Slam. When we got there, all the controversy started. The government first revoked his visa on two occasions and then deported him from the country. Neither his entry without vaccination, nor a medical exemption, nor the tennis player’s lies. Neither of these arguments worked for Alex Hawke, the immigration minister. The Government’s main concern was life and public order. Two aspects he felt were affected by the presence of tennis players in the country.
