Almost every current and ex-player is expressing their views on the whole Novak Djokovic saga. Some of those opinions are positive and some other are negative. A few of them feel sorry for world no.1 while the remaining are criticizing him for not taking the vaccination. 

In a recent interview, the current world no.3, Garbine Muguruza expressed her views on the Djokovic case. Earlier in Sydney too, the reporters had asked her about the same issue. In response, the Spaniard had stated that the current situation is not ideal for tennis and she has remained intact in her opinion. 

Garbine Muguruza’s comments about Novak Djokovic

In the recent interview, when a reporter asked Muguruza about Novak Djokovic, she did not shy away from citing her opinion. The former no.1 just wants to move on from the whole situation and wants to focus on the Grand Slam.

“I think it’s taking long, I think we all want to move on… and focus on the cool aspect of starting a Slam… I think all this could have been avoided like we’ve all done by getting vaccinated… because everybody knew clearly the rules… you just have to follow them… I don’t it’s that difficult,” Muguruza stated. 

Earlier in Sydney, Garbine had stated, “Sooner or later we all have to get vaccinated so I don’t know why so much controversy, it’s (Djokovic’s) a show that doesn’t benefit tennis at all… I am vaccinated and I have no problem saying it…I don’t see why you have to do it differently.” 

Clearly, the Spanish no.1 wants to focus on tennis instead of getting involved with all the drama. She feels it is distracting everyone from tennis, which is not good for the sport. 

Muguruza is ready for the Australian Open

Garbine had an outstanding 2021, showing glimpses of her former self when she lifted the WTA Finals title last year in Guadalajara. She beat Anett Kontaveit in the finals, 6-3, 7-5, and finished the year as World no.3. 

The Spaniard will now face Clara Burel of France in the first round of the Australian Open as the number 3 seed. Hopefully, the 2-time Grand Slam winner will make a good run at this year’s AO.

Meanwhile, we wait and see what will be the verdict for Novak Djokovic; whether the Serbian will play in Australia or leave Australia.
