“Doesn’t Get Enough Credit”: Pospisil Voices Support for Novak Djokovic Amid Australian Open 2021 Controversy
Follow Us
Serbian World No. 1 Novak Djokovic is one of the most progressive minds in the tennis fraternity. This usually ends up with him being misunderstood and criticized time and time again. Recently, he gave a few suggestions to the Australian Open 2021 organizers on quarantine conditions, which lead to him being perceived negatively.
Since Novak is staying at the exclusive Adelaide bubble, many said that he was abusing his privileges. Later on, the Serbian issued a statement himself clarifying his stance on the whole situation. It came to the surface that the list of requirements was not for him, but for players in the Melbourne bubble.
Apart from this, the 33-year-old recently cheered for two Adelaide boys outside his hotel room. In doing that, he not only gave them a lifelong memory to cherish, he also helped people to see him in a better light.

Earlier, to improve players’ position in tournaments, Novak along with Canadian Vasek Pospisil built the Professional Tennis Player’s Association (PTPA). However, similar to many of his stands, people and players criticized him.
The 30-year-old Canadian has now opened up in support of the present best player in tennis. Vasek also highlighted that Djokovic is not appreciated enough on account of the things he does.

Vasek thinks Novak Djokovic doesn’t get enough credit
Djokovic and Pospisil conducted the first meeting of PTPA just before the US Open. Before that, the pair was a part of the ATP Player’s Council. So working with the 17 majors champion, the Canadian knew his deal. To provide more understanding about Djokovic, Pospisil replied on the Adelaide boys’ video.
“Novak doesn’t get enough credit for his openness and generosity,” Vasek wrote. “I see it and experience it first hand behind the scenes on a regular basis. Nice memory here for the two kids.”
