As Novak Djokovic remains in Australian immigration detention with a canceled visa, the extent of Rafael Nadal's sympathy is limited.
Djokovic arrived in Melbourne on Thursday to prepare for the Australian Open only to find that the Australian Border Force had canceled his visa, accusing him of not complying with the nation's laws. Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison wrote on Twitter that "no one is above these rules" in regard to the nation's COVID-19 policies.
Nadal, a former World No. 1 who's tied with Djokovic and Roger Federer with 20 career Grand Slam titles, addressed his rival's plight in a news conference on Thursday.
