Toni Nadal thinks of Djokovic’s medical exemption

The theme of the day is obvious and is still alive and well. In the spotlight are several parties involved: the organization of the Open de Australia 2022, those in charge of distributing the now famous medical exemptions (that is, the Ministry of Health of the Government of Victoria through the two independent panels that guarantee them) and, finally, Novak Djokovic. The Serbian’s announcement has left the tennis world, practically, in a state of shock, giving rise to all kinds of comments and opinions towards his vaccination status (not yet revealed and probably an unknown until the end of the tournament and beyond) and the reasons for which you have been able to receive the exemption that will allow you to be in Australia. Toni Nadal, Rafa’s former coach, has been one of those who has dared to make his position clear.

The Mallorcan wrote a column in The country in which he analyzed the situation, especially focusing on the suffering that the coronavirus has left in Australia. Let us remember that the oceanic country was one of the most restrictive during the first waves, carrying out harsh quarantines in order to reduce the total number of cases, although in recent months, given the rapid spread of the Omicron variant, its strategy. First of all, Toni showed “Surprised” for the final result of the “soap opera”. “I must admit that, until this announcement, I thought that the Serb would either give up playing the tournament, or that he would inject the vaccine “. It did, he claims, based on the “rectitude” from Australian governments, who have ultimately allowed the Balkan’s presence in their own country.

Thus, Toni took the opportunity to review the alleged cases for which a medical exemption to an unvaccinated player, among which are anaphylaxis to a component of the vaccine or an adverse reaction to one of its doses, among others. In addition, he made it clear that the right to preserve the medical history of each person exists and is present, making it clear that Djokovic It’s in your right that it becomes a private matter. In addition, Toni made it clear that he would think “absolutely monstrous” that the medical exemption was motivated by any type of breach in the process of distribution of this exemption, either by the Independent Court in charge of granting it, the Australian government or was part of the “ultimate intention” of the player.

SENSITIVITY AND COMPRESSION, WHAT YOU DEMAND FROM DJOKOVIC

The crux of the matter, and the final reflection What Rafa’s former coach arrives at, is that the situation caused by the devastating pandemic should motivate the Serbian to do an exercise of “sensitivity and understanding” and, therefore, shed light on an issue that, from the outside, presents many shades and gray areas. “It would be good if Djokovic gave some explanation, since I do not believe that any of this (the cases in which irregularities are committed in the exemption) has occurred. You do not have the obligation to provide data regarding your privacy, but at the same time you must be aware that you are a world reference at a time of serious health crisis, at a time, in addition, of great sensitivity, due to the enormous pain that it is causing. the virus”.

Finally, Toni made reference to those strict conditions imposed throughout the pandemic by the Australian government, even citing relatives who “They have not been able to see or meet in more than two years”, appealing to the “trust” placed in the scientists in charge of developing the vaccine. “I want to think that Novak is no stranger to all this and that he will clear up doubts as a sign of human sensitivity and understanding”, sentenced the manacorí, thus giving his opinion on a matter that leaves no one indifferent. The only certainty we have is that Novak will defend his title of Australian Open champion thanks to the exemption granted by the Government of Victoria. Now we just have to wait for tennis to speak.
