Martina Navratilova, winner of 59 grand slams (18 singles, 31 doubles and 10 mixed doubles), she has not bit her tongue while talk about everything that happens around Novak Djokovic. “I admire him a lot and have defended him many times, but I cannot defend the decision not to get vaccinated,” he commented in an interview on the television program Good Morning Britain.
Navratilova has stressed that if Djokovic wants to be a leader, he must be exemplary in his behavior off the slopes: “You can refuse the vaccine because you do not know it or do not believe in it, but still, you must make a small sacrifice for the welfare of all.. If you want to be a leader, you need to be an example, and that example is based on doing what is good for the common good. All of this could have been avoided, but by now who knows how to end it all. What I wish is for Novak to be vaccinated. “
The three-time Australian Open winner sees some sufficiency in the fact that Djokovic showed up in Australia without being vaccinated: “I think it feels indestructible as it has an enviable athletic form, But there are people who died despite being in good shape. I wouldn’t say he’s arrogant, but he is somewhat presumptuous. “
Navratilova explained that she never had any doubts about getting vaccinated. “I was queuing to get vaccinated, I couldn’t wait to get it. I was more afraid of getting sick from not getting vaccinated than of the side effects “
