Rafael Nadal is a shameless, greedy liar. First he was rival with Roger now Novak. Now draw will be easy to get to the final isn't it?

Novak should be allowed to participate in Aussie Open, Apparently shame on the Australian Open organizers not coming forth to support Novak.

This should not be the way to eliminate competition with best player like Novak who is at the top of his game. Rafael Nadal should be ashamed of his behaviour by not supporting Novak. Why will a top player like Novak think so low to transmit COVID to Aussies?

Rafael Nadal has again shown poor sportsmanship and carmadarie, first Roger now Novak. Instead of finding out solution so that Novak could stay, his irresponsible comments added fuel to deport Novak. What is a tournament value without top players? Absolutely selfish.

Deport Djokovic already.

BIEN POR UD SEÑOR NADAL NADIE ESTA SOBRE LAS LEYES DE UN PAIS EL DEPORTE BLANCO ESTA MANCHADO DE SANGRE POR ESTOS PARIAS MENTIRORSOS FALTANDO A TODAS LAS REGLAS DE RESPETO A UN PAIS QUE LES ACOGE CON DIGNIDAD Y APRECIO UNA DIRIGENCIA MUNDIAL DEL TENIS DE HORROR Y VERGUENZA

So dont follow news 😉

So let's be responsible Rafa. As you entered the Australia after tested positive for COVID earlier than it is required by the same authorities.

This Nadalguy is either a reasonable person or does a helluva impersonation of a reasonable man.

Those are words from a man not a clown. Well said. Your right of choice ends when affects the right for health or risk the right of life for any other person. Not matter your religion, your beliefs or ignorance.

Nadal always looks like someone has just eaten his ice cream

Bravo Nadal!

Nadal is a real deal after Novax is axxed.

RafaelNadal - a brilliant Player and now the atptour Spokesman on Player responsibility-we will miss him (& Roger ) but not too soon..

Totally agree with Rafa! This is a total circus filled with loss and deceit. No player at this level deserves any type of medical exception whatsoever. Joker needs to get over himself!

Full of hate!

Absolutely agree! Go home Serbi!

He is just envy....

SICK GATES LOVER…

Rafa!

No pass for jokovic

And he is right… bravo RafaelNadal

Mr Nadal. The problem is not with the public. You do the right thing and there is no problem. Are you suggeting you and Novak are are beyond reproach?

A fall from grace Novak_Djokovic

I supported Nadal, no longer, what a idiot. And if he wins he must know that he never played the no.1 player 😂😂😂😂😂😂🤟🖖

Law of Karma Djoker is acting like a Djerk and needs to be deported and banned

Exactly

Djokovic is being responsible. He just had COVID-19 and has the antibodies. Nadal has to stoop to bs tactics because he knows his chances against Djokovic are slim at best.

So why he was not responsible and came after his recent COVID infection not respecting the number of post-COVID days given by the same authorities?

When you are tired you need to rest

Truth is he thought he was above the rules. I'm glad he is being held accountable for breaking them.

Only a responsible person says something like that. A genuine guy like Rafael is.

I will be really glad to stop hearing about this. At the end of the day it’s tennis. Give me a break, during a pandemic when thousands of people have died.

he is standing up for basic human rights. Our right to determine what we should inject into our own bodies. Its disturbing how people so easily get herded into a controlling mentality by govts especially when theyre in coherts with mass liberal media. Its very Orwelian.

Por isso Nadal é o melhor!!!!😘

I totally agree

Of course... 'Nada L' perfectly knows he can't win otherwise!!

❤️ Nadal

Lets just remove Tennis as a sport.

❤️ Nadal
