Tennis: Malagò says no to Djokovic at Italian Open

Tennis: Malagò says no to Djokovic at Italian Open

It would give out the wrong message says CONI chief

Giovanni Malagò, the president of Italian Olympic Committee CONI, said Tuesday that he was against the idea of allowing tennis great Novak Djokovic to take part in the Italian Open in May despite his refusal to have a COVID-19 jab.
    Last week Valentina Vezzali, the government undersecretary with the sport portfolio, had suggested this was a possibility.
    She said the Serbian world number one would be able to play at the Rome tournament as Italy does not require the Super Green Pass, which shows a person is vaccinated for COVID-19 or has recovered from it, for open-air sports like tennis.
    She added that Djokovic would have to avoid staying in a hotel or going to restaurants while in Italy.
    "It absolutely wouldn't be right," Malagò told State broadcaster RAI when asked about whether Djokovic should be allowed to play at the tournament.
    "Even if you shower in a camper and eat and sleep in improvised situations, the message is totally wrong.
    "I get dozens of emails every day from mums and dads who are furious because their children don't have the green pass and cannot do sport.
    "Explain to me why a champion who is in the same situation can".
    Health Undersecretary Andrea Costa has also said that he was against allowing Djokovic to take part in the Italian Open.
