Tennis superstar Novak Djokovic is “opposed to vaccination” — and says he would have a serious decision to make if he was required to get vaccinated in order to compete again.
“Personally, I am opposed to vaccination and I wouldn’t want to be forced by someone to take a vaccine in order to be able to travel,” 32-year-old Djokovic said during a Facebook live chat Sunday with Serbian athletes.
“But, if it becomes compulsory, what will happen? I will have to make a decision.”
He continued, “I have my own thoughts about the matter and whether those thoughts will change at some point, I don’t know.”
“Hypothetically, 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 and there is no vaccine yet.”
Obviously, this is a huge deal — Djokovic is the #1 ranked men’s singles player in the world … with 17 Grand Slam titles on his resume.
He’s won Wimbledon 5 times and has victories at the Australian, French and US Open.
