The Czech tennis player who was deported from Australia after her visa was cancelled because of her COVID-19 vaccination status, has expressed frustration over Novak Djokovic's court win to remain in Australia.
Doubles player Renata Voracova, was granted a medical exemption by Tennis Australia to compete at the Australian Open after recovering from the virus late last year, like the men's world No.1. The 38-year-old had been kept in the same deportation centre as Djokovic before flying out of Melbourne on the weekend."I feel good for him, that he won [in] the court," Voracova said of Djokovic on BBC Radio 5 Live. "[But] I feel a little bit frustrated for me, that the lawyers and my advisers who were there with me didn't apply for court too, but I also understand because Novak hired his lawyers so he had to also pay for this.
"I respect that he fights for what he believes and I can be empathetic with what he is going through in Australia, but it's a bit selfish from him to arrive here as the only player unvaccinated. It's tough for us players to accept that".
