Tennis Star Djokovic Affirms He Will Not Get Covid Vaccine to Compete in Tournaments
‘The principles of decision making on my body are more important than any title’
EXCERPT:
RAJAN: "Ultimately, are you prepared to forego the chance to be the greatest player that ever picked up a racket statistically because you feel so strongly about this jab?"
DJOKOVIC: "Yes, I do."
RAJAN: "But as things stand, if this means that you miss the French Open, is that a price you’d be willing to pay?"
DJOKOVIC: "Yes, that is the price that I’m willing to pay."
RAJAN: "And if it means that you miss Wimbledon this year, again, that’s a price you’re willing to pay?"
DJOKOVIC: "Yes."
RAJAN: "Why, Novak? Why? Why — "
DJOKOVIC: "Because the principles of decision-making on my body are more important than any title or anything else. I’m trying to be in tune with my body as much as I possibly can."
