Novak Djokovic reflects on Covid vaccine stance after missing Indian Wells and Miami Open

Tennis star Novak Djokovic has discussed his Covid vaccination status after missing out on crucial ranking points at the Indian Wells and Miami Open tournaments.

The 35-year-old equalled Rafael Nadal's record of 22 Grand Slam crowns by taking victory at the Australian Open in January - a year after being deported amid a row over his entry to the country.

Djokovic has refused to have the Covid vaccine, resulting in countries banning the tennis star which has meant he has missed plenty of tournaments over the past year or so. In total the world No. 2 has been absent at eight tournaments due to his non-vaccine status, resulting in the star losing an eye-watering sum from missed prize money.
