Novak Djokovic is deported from Australia (from Twitter)
Marcello Rios, a former Chilean tennis player, always used to say what was on his mind, without fear, and this time the victim is Novak Djokovic.
Rios, who is ranked number one in the world, referred to the affair around the Serb who was deported from Australia earlier this year for not getting vaccinated against Corona.
"It's silly," Rios said, "he's going to give up the race and not be able to be the greatest of all time because of a vaccine. I also thought like him at first, but I started traveling the world and had to get vaccinated. "And you're giving up the race because of a vaccine - you're probably the king of fools."
According to Rios, "At first I thought his decision was due to fear. Now he's just too arrogant."
