At this time, London, Paris and New York require the complete vaccination schedule to participate in the remaining Grand Slams of the season
Novak Djokovic keeps his pulse on the world of tennis and shows himself to be a defender of those who do not want to be vaccinated against Covid. The Serbian tennis player acknowledges that he is not vaccinated and that he does not intend to do so either, despite the injury it may cause in his professional career. “Yes, that’s the price I’m willing to pay.”
Djokovic has already missed the first Grand Slam of the season. He was deported to Australia after a week of trials that divided the sports world. The Serb became an icon for deniers who flooded social media with messages of “freedom.” And Djokovic’s stance doesn’t seem to change. In his first interview after the controversy in Australia, the Serbian is clear: if he has to stop competing for “freedom of choice”, he will do it.
Of course, the tennis player wants to make it clear that he is not a denier. “I was never against vaccination.” Your argument from him? As a child he was vaccinated… “I have always supported the freedom to choose what you put in your body,” insists the Serbian. “I understand that globally, everyone is trying to put in a lot of effort to manage this virus and hopefully see an end to it soon.”
Djokovic will return to competition in Dubai next week for the first time since he was deported from Australia, where Nadal won the first tennis Grand Slam of the year and overtook the Serb and Federer in the race to become the most successful tennis player in history. . Djokovic said that he was ready to sacrifice his career for “freedom of choice” and for the time being, he stands by his decision.
