"We all obeyed the rules to come to Australia and take part in the tournament. And we behaved in a very disciplined manner," said the world number four to Indian TV broadcaster WION: "A very small minority has decided to do theirs Going their own way. That kind of makes the majority look like idiots. "
Despite a partial victory in court on Monday, Djokovic still has to fear that his visa will be withdrawn again and that he will not be able to play the Australian Open from January 17th. Most recently, violations of the world number one against the isolation regulations in his home country Serbia and a false statement in the entry documents became known.
"Nobody would really have believed that you could come to Australia unvaccinated without following the prescribed protocols," said Tsitsipas. It is "very daring" to do this and thereby "endanger a Grand Slam". Djokovic is playing "according to his own rules" and has "done something that not many players would have dared".
