Novak Djokovic has become an accident adding more poison and fuel – lots of fuel – to the fire that long eve of the Australian Open in full pandemic. Novak is pulled a little on the jacket by everyone and now says that about him.
The world’s number one has posted a long letter on his social profile to protect himself from criticism for his requests to Australian Open director Craig Tiley regarding the quarantine of the 72 athletes staying in hotel rooms in Melbourne.
“My good intentions towards them have been misrepresented,” writes Djokovic. The number 1 in the world rejects allegations of being “selfish and ungrateful”. He couldn’t be further from the truth ”.
Djokovic had sent a letter to Tennis Australia boss Tiley with a list of inquiries regarding players’ quarantine conditions, including a noticeable relaxation of restrictions.
The players and their staff were placed in solitary confinement and unable to leave their hotel rooms to exercise after several people tested positive for Covid-19 on three Australian Open charter flights.
The first Grand Slam of the season is scheduled to begin on February 8th. In a recent podcast, Guido Pella placed particular emphasis on Novak Djokovic’s residence and pointed out the differences between living conditions in Melbourne and Adelaide.
The Argentine, however, feel disappointed with Rafael Nadal and Dominic Thiem as they haven’t used any of their influences to help their colleagues in Melbourne (Roger Federer will skip the Australian Open in 2021).

“These (Melbourne and Adelaide) are two completely different realities,” said Guido Pella. “These (Melbourne and Adelaide) are two completely different realities,” said Guido Pella.
“I’ve seen pictures and the balcony in Novak Djokovic is bigger than my room. But I find the silence of Dominic Thiem and Rafael Nadal strange.” According to Pella, Novak Djokovic is not perfect himself, but at least speaks out when his colleagues Need help.
“Djokovic is at least committed,” said Pella. “He may make mistakes, but at least he speaks. I can’t vouch for anyone, but at least he shows intent. I have to play to make money,” added Pella.
“If I had the economic situation of John Isner, who wanted to stay at home, or Roger Federer, I would of course act differently. This pandemic showed the real face of certain people in tennis.
After that, I will leave the sport less happily than I would have left before I knew what I know about some people today. “The 30-year-old believes that clarity in this situation could have given other players a better chance of accepting preferential treatment.
“I don’t mind preferential treatment, but at least I’ll say it from the start and give people the opportunity to see if they can take it,” added the Argentine. “This Adelaide thing started less than a month ago and they were gradually deleting it so no one had time to act.”
