Soviet and Russian tennis player Andrei Chesnokov sided with the first racket of the world, Novak Djokovic, who defends the right to speak at the Australian Open before the Australian authorities, having a medical rejection from vaccinations after suffering a coronavirus. Chesnokov stressed: vaccination does not guarantee that a person will not get sick.

“I talked to the players about Australia and what's going on there. It is very difficult to understand what is going on. Let's say Rublev, Pavlyuchenkova, Nadal - they were all vaccinated, and they got sick anyway. If they get sick, they can also infect others, even if they are vaccinated.

You see, people sometimes sit at home and still get sick with covid - through what, through ventilation? And find fault with Djokovic that something is wrong with him - and what happened before that when he played 15 times at the Australian Open? Was everything all right with your health? It is virologists who should say what the next steps should be, not politicians, ”said Chesnokov.

Djokovic received a medical treatment on the basis of the coronavirus transferred in December. The Australian authorities, however, do not consider illness as a basis for a medical exception. Upon entering the Serb was placed in a quarantine hotel, his visa was canceled.

Novak appealed and won the trial, but he could still be deported: according to local media reports, the athlete was arrested shortly after his victory in court.

Earlier, Andrei Chesnokov criticized the Australian authorities because of the situation in which the first racket of the world Novak Djokovic found himself on the eve of the Austalian Open.
