World No.1 Novak Djokovic has been in the news lately for submitting a list of demands to Craig Tiley, CEO of Tennis Australia. The Serbian legend seemed quite unhappy with Australian Open 2021 organizers and wrote a letter to Tiley. He mentioned the difficulties that players were facing under the quarantine protocols. However, Djokovic has received criticism for his letter.

Tennis Australia recently rejected all the demands of Djokovic and put them aside. Earlier, Djokovic also raised questions about the management’s decision of two different quarantines for different players as he didn’t actually like the idea.

Recently, tennis legend Todd Woodbridge expressed his opinion on Djokovic’s letter. According to him, Djokovic should not have gone to Tiley straight away.

“I mean, look, health is going to determine what was happening. So, going to Craig wasn’t going to be right anyway. He couldn’t make those decisions. I tell you what, we would have to go searching for a lot of tennis courts in the backyard to be able to host all those players here in Melbourne. There’s no doubt about that,” said Woodbridge in a recent interview.

Woodbridge believes that Tiley is certainly not the right person to talk about quarantine restrictions. He also advocated the management and said that there was a need for quarantine in two different places since there were not that many courts available in either Adelaide or Melbourne.

Woodbridge also tried to convince Djokovic that everything would be fine and players wouldn’t face any sort of difficulty during the Grand Slam.

“If it was about food and other things, well, look, they’ll be looked after. If they need more food, they’ll get more food. That’s not an issue,” added the former Australian player.

“I know that the team at TA (Tennis Australia) would be doing absolutely everything to help these players,” concluded the 49-year-old.
