According to a report by\u00a0AFP News Agency,\u00a0<\/em>Greek in an interview on Thursday said that Novak Djokovic has put the Australian Open at risk and made other tennis players \u201d look like fools\u201d after travelling to Australia unvaccinated.<\/p>\n The Greek player who lost to the top-seeded Serb at the Roland Garros final said that the player is following his rules. \u201cFor sure he has been playing by his own rules,\u201d said Tsitsipas in an interview with WION (Indian broadcaster).<\/p>\n Stefanos thinks that while the majority of the players who are participating in the first Grand Slam of the year are having vaccines against COVID-19 and following the protocols, \u201cchose to follow their own way which kind of makes the majority look like they\u2019re all fools.\u201d<\/p>\n Stefanos was caught up in the discussions for his controversial statement about vaccination after which the player was highly criticised. He later said that he will be vaccinated if the tournament (Australian Open) asks for it.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Djokovic, who was detained and his VISA git cancelled in Melbourne, was later allowed in the first round draw of the Grand Slam after the Serbian won the court hearing in his favour on Monday.
