It will be great Australian Open, with or without him.”
Although he respects his counterparty “as a person, of course, and without doubt as a sportsman,” but with many things that Novak did not agree. If there is a solution to the problems, then it is the Vaccination. We have to vaccinate. ” Later, Nadal decided the final against the Russian Daniil Medvedev in four sentences for themselves and thus brought himself to his 21st Grand Slam title – a more than Djokovic and Roger Federer.
