Australian Open 2022: Nadal, on vaccines: “I try to follow people who are prepared in each subject, not people who are not”

Reef Nadal spoke this Wednesday at Radioestadio Noche de Onda Cero, where he showed his opinion on the Novak Djokovic affair, the vaccines and the possibility that the Serbian tennis player plays the Mutua Madrid Open in Madrid.

Rafa Nadal: “I want the best to always be there”

The Balearic tennis player said not be disappointed with Djokovic, but I did make it clear that both have a very different position on the coronavirus vaccine. “No disappointment, I always have the utmost respect for everyone’s opinions, as long as they are respectful of others. In that sense, I think Djokovic’s opinion compared to mine on the subject to be discussed, we are in quite distant positions. There is one thing that is numbers and the numbers say that many people have died, and the reality is that it seems that the issue of the vaccine has all been very fast. Perhaps many people have doubts about side effects. The only thing that happens is that we do not know 100%, what we do know 100% are the effects of the virus, and what we know is that if we had kept up the pace of before the vaccine appeared, instead of 6 million deaths the figure would be very high. I respect any opinion, many I do not share, I try to follow the people who are prepared in each subject, not the people who are not”, explained the winner of 20 majors.

Mutua Madrid Open: “Whether he plays in Madrid or not play in Madrid… the debate is not a sports debate, in my opinion. I wish Novak Djokovic plays in most places For a simple fact, events are better when the best are competing. In the end, I am a fan of sports in general, when I see a golf and football tournament I want the best in the field to be. As I am a tennis fan I like that Djokovic is playing, just as I would love for Federer was playing But it is an issue that goes far beyond sports, we are talking about a global health issue and in the end each country has its rules and each country has different rules and we, and more so at the moment, what we have to do is follow the”.

Inauguration of the Santiago Bernabu

I also talked about the option of inaugurate the new Santiago Bernabu. “I have no idea, not the slightest idea,” he replied. But would you like it? “I always like to be in unique settings, of course I would like it. I think the new stadium is going to be one of the best stadiums in the world without a doubt,” he concluded.
