Novak Djokovic has made the headlines in the past week after all the controversy around his Australian Visa. The Serbian was granted an medical exemption to compete at the Australian Open 2022. However, upon his arrival in the country, the Serb was detained by the officials and his Visa was cancelled by the Border Force.
Several tennis stars have commented on the latest situation surrounding Novak Djokovic. Nick Kyrgios, Australian tennis player also lamented as to how the situation was handled. Now, former rival of Djokovic, Andy Murray has also given his two cents on the same topic.
Andy Murray, three time major champion stated that Novak Djokovic’s treatment is not good for tennis, and the entire situation was handled in a bad manner. Moreover, the Briton hopes that the 34-year-old is feeling okay at the moment after all that has happened in the last four days.
“I’m going to say two things on it just now. The first thing is that I hope that Novak is OK. I know him well, and I’ve always had a good relationship with him and I hope that he’s OK,” Murray said as quoted by the Age.
“The second thing I’ll say on it … it’s really not good for tennis at all, and I don’t think it’s good for anyone involved. I think it’s really bad,” said Murray.
Andy Murray wants to know all the facts before forming an opinion
Andy Murray stated that since there is something new cropping up every day, he wants to know the literal facts regarding the entire fiasco. According to the latest documents which were leaked, Tennis Australia had made a certain error in communication, which led to the entire chaos.
Andy Murray believes that certain things that are creeping up are not good for the sport, and would like to know all the facts before forming an opinion. The Briton has been on the losing side in the finals of the Australian Open on four occasions, all of them coming against the Serbian, Novak Djokovic.
“What I would like to do right now is just wait for all of the facts to come out about what’s happened, because every day something new is coming out and we’re hearing new information all of the time,” Murray said.
“[I need to] wait and hear exactly what the situation is before commenting on it further, because again I don’t think it’s fair because some of it is speculation. Some stuff has come out that really doesn’t look good, either. I want to hear all the facts first before giving all of my thoughts on it,” he added.
