Novak Djokovic could boycott the Australian Open
Novak Djokovic could boycott the Australian Open!
Novak Djokovic risks being denied a visa to enter Australia because he won’t specify his vaccination status.
Djokovic has declined to disclose his vaccination status against COVID-19 due to perceived privacy concerns.
Novak Djokovic will not be able to enter Australia to defend his Australian Open title unless he is fully vaccinated for Covid-19, the Australian immigration minister said.
The Australian immigration minister’s statement on Wednesday has put the Serb’s grand slam record bid in doubt.
“I will not reveal my status whether I have been vaccinated or not. It is a private matter and an inappropriate inquiry,” Djokovic added.
“People go too far these days in taking the liberty to ask questions and judge a person. Whatever you say – ‘Yes, no, maybe, I am thinking about it – they will take advantage.”
Tennis fans erupt on social media following Novak Djokovic news:
I support Novak Djokovic.. nobody has the right to ask if you’re vaccinated or not. I won’t be watching the Australian Open 🎾

Djokovic stays silent for a month & then gives just 1 interview in which he reveals nothing & decides to keep things private.

Here is the consequence – “media & Fedal fans ki gaand mein keeda & they can’t stop tweeting about him” !
“I will not reveal my status whether I have been vaccinated or not. It is a private matter and an inappropriate inquiry.”

~ Novak Djokovic.
Exactly. An individual’s medical status is a private matter and not a badge of honour or risk of discrimination.https://t.co/PsrrT4bccs
Absolutely right mandate by the Australian Govt. In the time of a pandemic when a non-vaccinated person can pose enough risk to others, saying "I will not reveal my status" is stupidity. May #Novak #Djokovic be blessed with common sense. 😁
