Men's world number one tennis player, Novak Djokovic

Novak Djokovic has said he would be against a compulsory coronavirus vaccination if it became a requirement for tennis players to travel to tournaments.

Speaking to fellow Serbian athletes on Sunday, the 17-time Grand Slam champion said: “I wouldn’t want to be forced by someone to take a vaccine in order to be able to travel.

“If it becomes compulsory, what will happen? I will have to make a decision. I have my own thoughts about the matter and whether those will change at some point, I don’t know.

“If the season was to resume in July, August or September, though unlikely, I understand that a vaccine will become a requirement straight after we are out of strict quarantine.”
