Vaccination skeptic Novak Djokovic remains true to his line. The world number one does not want to be vaccinated against the corona virus even if it would jeopardize his participation in the upcoming Grand Slam tournaments in Paris and Wimbledon. This is the price he is willing to pay, the 34-year-old Serb said in a BBC interview. He had already missed the Australian Open in January.

Novak Djokovic has said he would rather miss out on future tennis trophies than be forced to get a Covid vaccine.
Speaking exclusively to the BBC, he said he should not be associated with the anti-vax movement, but supported an individual’s right to choose.
Djokovic was asked if he would sacrifice taking part in competitions such as Wimbledon and the French Open over his stance on the vaccine.
“Yes, that is the price that I’m willing to pay,” he said.
The 20-times Grand Slam winner was deported from Australia last month after the government cancelled his visa in a row over his vaccine status.
