Novak Djokovic says he’s prepared to miss French Open and Wimbledon over vaccine stance

Novak Djokovic insists he’s prepared to miss the French Open and Wimbledon over his vaccine stance.

Djokovic’s stance arguably cost him a Grand Slam as rival Rafael Nadal claimed glory in Melbourne to move ahead of him and Roger Federer in the race to secure the most men’s singles titles in tennis history.

The Serb maintains he is not part of the anti-vax movement, he supported every individual’s right to choose.
