Tennis star Novak Djokovic is being interviewed for the first time since being deported from Australia about a month ago following his refusal to listen to the country’s corona restrictions. It will be recalled that Djokovic, who, among other things, refuses to be vaccinated, has been banned from participating in the Australian Open.
In an interview with the BBC, Djokovic was asked if he would give up participating in future tournaments like Wimbledon or the French Open following his refusal to get vaccinated: “Yes, that’s the price I’m willing to pay.
“I have never opposed vaccines,” Djokovic claims, “but I have always supported choices in choosing what to put on your body.”
In an interview, the tennis player said he hoped the requirement to get vaccinated in tournaments would change, and hoped he could play for many more years. But as mentioned, he said he would also be willing to give up on these tournaments, which would prevent him from becoming the most decorated player of all time.
“The principles by which I can determine about my body are more important to me than anything else. I try to be in touch with my body as much as possible.” Djokovic claims he has always been a “student of health and nutrition.”
“I have never opposed a vaccine, I understand it globally. Everyone is trying to deal with the virus and hopefully see its end soon,” the tennis player said.
