Novak Djokovic should ‘suck it up’ and ‘go home’, says Martina Navratilova

Martina Navratilova has hit out at Novak Djokovic's decision to refuse the Covid vaccine, suggesting he should "suck it up" or "just go home".

He has since won a court battle over the issue and is expected to play in the tournament later this month, but Navratilova says she can't support his decision.
