Stressing upon the fact that the 9-time Australian Open winner knew the rules, Nadal&nbsp;said 'If he wanted, he would be playing here in Australia without a problem,&nbsp;of course, I don't like the situation that is happening. In some way, I feel sorry for him. But at the same time, he knew the conditions a lot of months ago, so he makes his own decision'. In contrast to Nadal, who was short on sympathy, Berrettini&nbsp;said, 'I&nbsp;have sympathy for Novak, nobody wants to be in that situation. I think it's not nice to be, I don't know how many hours he was there, but at the same time I can understand why Australian people feel that way, I think Melbourne had the longest lockdown in the world so, I can understand these people'.

Australian Premiere Scott Morrison said that rules are rules and the government would stick to its strong border protection policies. Since the entry visa requires double vaccination or a medical exemption, the Prime Minister confirmed that Djokovic did not have the medical exemptionAs a result, the Serbian was forced to spend 8 hours at the airport as his lawyers prepared to appeal against the decision. He was then taken to a hotel in Melbourne for quarantine as his father alleged that his son is being held as a captive by the Australian government.
