5 Tennis Stars Who Support the Controversial Novak Djokovic

INDOSPORT.COM - Novak Djokovic faced controversy when he decided not to get vaccinated against COVID-19. It turns out that his decision was supported by several other top tennis players.

As we all know, Djokovic is one of the greatest tennis players of all time. He has won numerous titles and broken several records throughout his career.

The 35-year-old Serbian tennis star has also recently matched Rafael Nadal's 22 Grand Slam singles titles by winning the Australian Open 2023.

However, Djokovic's decision not to get vaccinated led to his absence from the Australian Open and US Open last year. This move sparked both support and criticism.

To find out more, here are five tennis stars who support Djokovic's decision.

John McEnroe, a legendary American tennis player, supported Djokovic during the controversy surrounding his vaccination in Australia last year and when he was not allowed to compete in the US Open.

"If he decides not to get vaccinated and the Australian authorities say 'You can't go unless you get vaccinated.' He's entitled to that belief," said McEnroe.

McEnroe also criticized the US Open for not allowing Djokovic to compete in the tournament last year. The 63-year-old man said that Djokovic's decision should be respected.

"I think it's a joke. He's got a strong belief and you have to respect that. The pandemic is over two and a half years, and the idea that he can't travel is a joke to me," he said.
