Tennis superstar Novak Djokovic has said that he is willing to not take part in tournaments if he is asked to be vaccinated. In an exclusive interview with the BBC, the World No.1 men's tennis player said "that is the price he is willing to pay" because "the principles of decision making on my body are more important than any title or anything else".
When asked if he would forego tournaments like the French Open and Wimbledon if there is a requirement of being vaccinated, Djokovic answered in the affirmative.
"Yes, that is the price that I'm willing to pay," he said.
"The principles of decision making on my body are more important than any title or anything else. I'm trying to be in tune with my body as much as I possibly can," added the Serbian tennis star.
Djokovic, however, said that he is not against vaccination.
