Novak Djokovic's fans support him outside the Park Hotel in Melbourne, Australia (from Twitter)

The Novak Djokovic storm continues to make waves around the world as prominent and familiar people do not remain indifferent and react to what is happening.

Tony Nadal, Raphael's uncle and former coach, wrote in his weekly column in El Pais that: "I must admit that by Thursday I was sure the Serb would give up participating in the tournament or be vaccinated. Nearly six million people worldwide have lost their lives due to the crappy virus "This and millions more have been vaccinated. I want to believe that these things are not foreign to Novak and that he will dispel the fog sensitively and with understanding."

The esteemed Serbian film director Amir Kosturica expressed support for his compatriot and said: "The imprisonment of Djokovic is a lesson for everyone and not just the noble Serbs. The arrest of Novak Djokovic, the first of the free people, a rebel who does not want to accept the chains of the new world and believes In a fairer order, it reminds me of the plot of a movie in which citizens were arrested to convey a message to everyone else. "

Kosturica went on to say: "Has not the world already become a prison where electric wires are the most obvious symbol? Are the punishments for those who refuse to be vaccinated not another step the world government is taking against the people?".

Former tennis player and Eurosport commentator Mats Willander said: "I think Novak was a bit unlucky. He tries to do the right things with the players' organization, always wants to help less famous and less successful players. Maybe his legacy will become a little less glamorous now. When Rafael Nadal and Rog "'S Federer so popular must be someone who will probably be a black sheep. Unfortunately for Novak himself, I think people are willing to paint him as a black sheep and that's a bit unfair."

Djokovic coach Marian Wade wrote on Instagram: "Only the laws and the human mind are limited, but the free soul and the demonstration of freedom, unity and love is unlimited. Champion, we stand by your side."

"A man with a tremendous desire and very rigid beliefs."

Former tennis player Boris Becker, who has been Djokovic's coach in the past, said: "I consider him almost a family member, but as in any family sometimes there are disagreements. He has a tremendous character that can be easily misunderstood. Sometimes this power is perceived as weakness. "An incredible determination that I have seen in so many close games can also be a weakness with his stubbornness."

Becker continued: "When he arrived at the airport in Melbourne I corresponded in messages with his coach Goran Isniewicz. Goran was in a separate room from Novak because he and the rest of the crew were allowed to enter Australia. I did not have the opportunity to talk to Novak, but I would beg him to get vaccinated He would listen to me. It's also clear to me that as a person in his 50s I look at health differently from those in their 20s or 30s. I was able to convince my children to get vaccinated, but I'm not sure Novak will get vaccinated.

"Novak is a man with a great desire and very rigid beliefs. If he does not get vaccinated, then in ten years he will look back and realize he was wrong. It's not just Australia. The fact is we live in another world and he will have a very hard time living as a professional tennis player. These are the rules, whether you like them or not, you have to accept them. "
