Djokovic, Pietrangeli: “This affair comes out very badly”

“Djokovic comes out very badly from this affair, he violated the rules by denying and then making late admissions. I don’t want to rage on a great champion like him but he made a bad impression.” Nicola Pietrangeli, winner of two titles at Roland Garros, thus comments to Adnkronos the decision of the cancellation of the visa to the number 1 of the world tennis Novak Djokovic by the Australian immigration minister, Alex Hawke, a decision that, barring blows of scene, will not allow the Serbian to defend the title at the Australian Open. “It is an unprecedented case that saw him as a protagonist, he was faced with a government like the Australian one that does not look at anyone when it comes to compliance with the rules – he continues -. Djokovic will have the opportunity to make up for himself, but a champion like him, at 34, a figure like this could have avoided it “.
