On Liberty

In his first public interview since his casus belli with Australia due to his COVID-19 vaccination status, Serbian tennis star and world No. 1 Novak Đoković told BBC on Tuesday that he will never bow to blackmail, ever. “I was never against vaccination”, he said, confirming he received vaccines as a child, “but I’ve always supported the freedom to choose what you put in your body”. If need be, not defending his titles at Roland Garros and Wimbledon is “a price I am willing to pay”. Photo: Clive Brunskill/Getty Images.
