Jamie Murray: Novak Got An Exemption, I Wouldn’t Have Been Given Oneby Staff |News of Novak Djokovic’s medical exemption has spread among his peers, and some are giving a “wink” to the Australian government’s decision to let the World No. 1 into the country and play the Australian Open without being vaccinated. While government/tournament maintain there was no preferential treatment giving to Djokovic and no knowledge that it was Djokovic making the request, at least one player is on record as not buying it. “I think if it was me that wasn’t vaccinated I wouldn’t be getting an exemption,” said Jamie Murray who is playing at the ATP Cup. “Well done to him for getting clear to come to Australia and compete.”Added British teammate Liam Broady, “At the end of the day you kind of have to trust that he does has a valid reason for the medical exemption.”More reaction will be coming from players who will be asked about this hot topic.
