NEW DELHI: Novak Djokovic not taking a vaccine has caused a lot of problems for the 20-time grand slam champion as the Serb was not allowed to compete in the Australian Open 2022. Despite missing out, Djokovic is adamant that he will not take vaccines even if it leads to missing out on future tournaments. The former Wimbledon and US Open quarter-finalist Vijay Amritraj believes that this is his personal choice but he will have to face the consequence for it.
"It is a personal choice but you also face the consequences. The consequences are pretty straightforward. In my opinion, every grand slam that he doesn't play is the one lost for him because he comes as a clear favourite. It is like he is playing to win matches and it is playing for history as well. So, it remains to be seen if he is playing now to get back and rethink that issue. He seems to have made himself very clear. He seems to have a great conviction about not wanting to do this. If you make your bed then you will have to sleep in it, " Vijay Amritraj told ANI.
