Novak Djokovic says he would rather miss out on future tennis trophies than be forced to get a Covid-19 vaccine.
Djokovic told the BBC that he should not be associated with the anti-vax movement, but supported an individual’s right to choose.
The 20-time Grand Slam winner was deported from Australia last month after the government cancelled his visa in a row over his vaccine status.
Djokovic, who is the world’s number one men’s tennis player, said he had obtained a medical exemption to enter the country to play in the Australian Open as he had recently recovered from Covid-19.
