Novak Djokovic loses eye-watering sum from missed tournaments due to Covid vaccine status

The Miami Open is the latest tournament Novak Djokovic has been forced to miss over the past 14 months due to his refusal to get vaccinated against Covid.

Djokovic withdrew from the tournament earlier this month after organisers insisted they had "tried everything" to get him permission to play. The US is one of the last countries to still have restrictions in place against unvaccinated travellers and Djokovic has now missed eight major tournaments since the start of last year as a result of his vaccine status.

In total, Tennis 365 report the 22-time Grand Slam winner has missed out on a whopping £9.35m ($11.39m) in potential earnings had he gone on to win all eight of those tournaments.
