Novak Djokovic has come under the hammer once again for all the wrong seasons. The Serbian has seen his Australian Visa cancelled after his arrival in Melbourne on Wednesday. Fans across the world are outraged by the latest situation, and want justice to be served for Novak Djokovic.

Apparently, even tennis players are unhappy with the way the situation has been handled. Nick Kyrgios, who is known to not be in good terms with Djokovic, also lashed out at the authorities for their poor handling of the situation. Andy Murray was another player who commented on the situation, and described it as something not good for tennis.

Recently, even Rafael Nadal had given his two cents on same topic. The Spaniard sympathized with Djokovic, but stated that the Serbian knew the consequences of not getting vaccinated. Serbian medium, Telegraf have launched an attack on Rafael Nadal for his comments on the situation in their latest publication.

In an article published by the Serbian version of Telegraf, the headline takes aim at Rafael Nadal’s comments on the Visa controversy. It reads: “Nadal’s embarrassing message for expelling Djokovic. We will never forget this!”

The article also advises Rafael Nadal to learn from his fellow Spaniard, Feliciano Lopez to take a neutral view on the subject.“Rafa, listen to your colleague from the national team: a Spanish tennis player, angry about Novak’s deportation,” the article stated.

However, Rafael Nadal took a pretty general view of the entire situation, and did not call out Novak Djokovic for his reluctance to take the vaccine. The Spaniard had stated that there were rules which had to be followed by every tennis player, and that Novak Djokovic was already aware of the consequences of being unvaccinated.

“I don’t encourage no one. I feel everyone have to do whatever, whatever feels that is good for him. But there are rules, and if you don’t want to get the vaccine, then you can have some troubles. That’s the thing. Of course, after a lot of people had been dying for two years, my feeling is with the vaccine is the only way to stop this pandemic. That’s what the people who understand about this say and I am no one to create a different opinion,” Nadal had said.
