Soviet and Russian tennis player Andrei Chesnokov, the former ninth racket in the world, expressed his anger at the decision of the tournament organizers in Indian Wells and Miami not allowing the Tennis Professionals Association (ATP) rating leader Novak Djokovic. ), to participate in the competition. The Serb, in principle, does not vaccinate against the coronavirus, and on this basis the Americans refused to accept it. Chesnokov admitted that he did not understand his arguments.
“I was very disappointed by the Americans because they still didn’t allow Novak Djokovic because he had the coronavirus vaccine. I don’t know… Do all those who come to America show their vaccination certificates? I believe this is usually a phase that has passed. I’m disappointed. And what does the vaccine give for Djokovic? Will it save America from this infection?
I have friends, Estonians who went to Italy – a husband and wife and two children. The husband was vaccinated, but his wife and children did not. They crossed the border with Italy, the husband showed the certificate and the rest passed the tests. And you can imagine: it was he who finally infected everyone! Both his family and those around him fell ill.
Maybe Novak is doing something bad to himself, but the world will not suffer from it. It’s terrible that he didn’t play in those two super tournaments. I’ve heard that in America these restrictions will only be lifted on May 11 – why on the 11th and not the 11th? Why not 2050?” Chesnokov told socialbites.ca.
