The 2021 Miami Open is drawing a lot of attention outside of this year’s invigorating tennis matches. Specifically, the Canadian Vasek Pospisil incident in the first round has caught everyone’s attention.
Now his good friend No.1 Novak Djokovic has expressed kind words of support for him. In essence, the 30-year-old Canadian criticized the behavior of the ATP president at the players’ meeting in Miami.
The interesting thing is that he did it in public, and that also during his first round match against the American Mackenzie McDonald. Pospisil after the game immediately apologized for his lack of professionalism and has since made many players empathize with his situation.
Last year, Novak Djokovic and Vasek Pospisil founded the PTPA to protect the interests of the players on the tour. However, it was not well received by the higher authorities. The current situation is probably a sequel to it.
However, the case at hand is about Pospisil’s harsh comments and misconduct on the tennis court. For this reason, the 33-year-old Serbian tweeted in support of his partner. In addition, Djokovic also vouched for the 30-year-old’s character and urged players to understand the importance of coming together.
“As for the issues in question, I am not in Miami. Andre Agassi recently voiced his opinion on the ‘GOAT’ debate, but avoided picking Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer or Rafael Nadal as the most deserving candidate for the title.
Agassi believes that he will only be able to pick the “best of all time” once all three retire, or if they can somehow play in a surface event.
Agassi on helping Novak Djokovic
Andre Agassi served as Novak Djokovic’s coach from May 2017 to March 2018, a period filled with palpable discord between the two.
During their conversation with CNBC, Agassi admitted that he had not provided the necessary support to Djokovic during their stint together. “He wasn’t helping Novak Djokovic for me,” Agassi said.
“My reasons were because I believed that the best thing for tennis was that somehow he could get the best of himself and then meet him and his family, I had the desire to help. My goal is to help him, but if I am on his way or if I am stopping their process or interfering with their process, then I better get out of their way, “added the American.
