Novak Djokovic, again in the crosshairs: the photo without a mask on the plane to Serbia

This past Monday, January 17, after a few long days in which Novak Djokovic had to appear in different hearings for his presence in Australia without having been vaccinated, crosses continue to unfold between those who defend the position of the Serbian tennis player, accusing of affecting individual freedoms, and those who support the health relgamento and care in the face of the pandemic. While in the last hours the Australian Open began without the presence of its maximum winner, who was traveling to Serbia, in the stadiums there were crosses and insults among the fans for the use of a mask, which led to the intervention of security employees, among others.

This, for many, is the product of a widespread sensitivity for the case of Djokovic, who while returning deported and with his visa rejected, was again the protagonist for a photo of a passenger of his same plane, who portrayed him without the mask placed when it is a rule to keep him all the way. While it is not clear whether Nole did not have it on the entire trip (he hung it from one ear) or only because of a partial situation, the debate again raised temperature in a few weeks where it became the focus of attention for its anti-vaccine stance and diplomatic differences between Serbia and Australia. Djokovic will stay in Belgrade waiting for his situation to settle and will not attend to the press, according to his mother Diana told local media. After it, he will start his season at the ATP, where he has already been given several warnings among which Paris appeared and his qualification to Roland Garros.
