Hello friends, good vibes to all.

We are living an unprecedented situation in sports worldwide, not only in tennis and also involves the number one tennis player in the world and surely one of the best in history, the Serbian Novak Djokovic. To give an opinion on this issue is undoubtedly going beyond the sports field to get into the political, economic and even moral I would say, but when we put together the pandemic, vaccines, personal rights and sovereignty of a country, nothing friendly can come out of it.

Personally I have always been a big fan of Nole, maybe even more than Nadal and Federer, his way of playing and the grit he puts on the court has made him worthy of that number one in the world and the incredible numbers in terms of championships won, including TWENTY Grand Slam, the truth is easy to say but it certainly is not, there are very few with those figures.

But what is happening with Djokovic? - Maybe some people around here do not know very well about the problem, but in short, to be able to enter Australia and thus be able to play the next Australian Open it is necessary to be vaccinated with, logically, the vaccine against Covid, something that the tennis player refuses or at least has not wanted to inform if he has done it or not. In view of this he asked for a medical exemption to be able to play, which was not accepted when he arrived in Australia. This is a big problem because we would be without the top tennis player and current champion of the tournament, but? the rules are the rules, right?

The absence of Novak would mean a drop in audience and even an important economic blow for the organization, but in my opinion in these cases the sovereignty of a country has to come before everything else, especially after the number of people who died as a result of this virus. But then, what about individual rights, will this mark a before and after in sport? - These are complicated questions to answer, for the moment?

Here what concerns us is sports, so we will try to go that way. If we go to soccer there are many players who are not vaccinated, N'Golo Kanté of Chelsea is one and Joshua Kimmich of Bayern is another, and they are players who travel without problems with their respective teams as long as they are not infected and are negative to the respective tests. There is no doubt that mass vaccination should be encouraged, but there is a fine line that touches the rights of everyone and that is where the road is blocked.

Nole's case is different from that of the players because we are in a country that is very strict with its anti Covid policies, a country that also has every right to be so. So as much as we don't like as fans not to see Djokovic play we have to accept it and most importantly he should accept it. NO ONE is above the law.

Will we see Novak Djokovic stepping on the courts of Melbourne Park this year?.... - The latest that is known and after a trial that took place today is that a judge ordered the immediate release of the tennis player so in theory he could stay in Australia and play the Grand Slam but at the end of the day the last word has the Australian government itself. A great novel that we are living just at the beginning of the year that will undoubtedly end with very upset people and with very satisfied people because justice was done.

I do not know how much this situation will affect the sports world but there will certainly be a polarization between both sides, there have been many players and colleagues of the Serbian who have opposed his actions but we assume that there will be others who will support him without saying so and above all a lot of people, both fans of the athlete and the known "antivaccine". It is clear that he is giving a lot to talk about.

Well my people that's all for today, I hope you liked it.
¡Hugs to all, see you next time!
