Although many joined the world number one in the relaunch of the players ‘association, Novak Djokovic has also received harsh criticism from great tennis figures, and the latest to join has been Martina Navratilova, who spoke to the newspaper’ The Irish Times ‘about the guild that has promoted the champion of 17 Majors, a very sincere and critical opinion.
Navratilova: This is not good at any level
“I don’t agree with that, but it’s her choice,” declares legend Martina Navratilova. “It certainly didn’t seem to help her tennis. That’s what I do not understand.
From a purely logical point of view, when you are a champion tennis player, when you commit to the sport, your energy is focused on that. Maybe you do other things to escape, but start this association? This is not good at any level.
Do it when you stop playing tennis, but it’s controversial and not helpful. During covid, are you trying to divide us even further when we should try to come together and try to figure out how to play tournaments without people getting sick and dying from covid? Let’s stick with that problem instead of creating one that we don’t need, “he added.
Another of the points that Nvratilova analyzed has been the world of social networks, where the new generations are fighting for sexual and racial equality. “I see this fight for the equality of women in sport as a great opportunity to promote it in all areas and beyond sport.
It is about changing the social construction and subverting norms and perceptions. You have an example of young black women who speak because they see what is happening. They are privileged because they have achieved something and are respected for it.
But as black women, they know what their fathers and mothers had to go through. So it’s great to see them take the bull by the horns. If I had Twitter 30 years ago, I would have set up hell, “Martina Navratilova closed with laughter.
