The bio-medical organizations around the globe are immersed in the research of a vaccine for the coronavirus. Even during this early stage of the research of the life-saving substance, Novak Djokovic expressed his opposition to injecting it.
“Personally I am opposed to vaccination and I wouldn’t want to be forced by someone to take a vaccine in order to be able to travel. But if it becomes compulsory, what will happen? I will have to make a decision. I have my own thoughts about the matter, and whether those thoughts will change at some point, I don’t know,” he said.
However, basketball coach Dusko Vujosevic defended Novak’s statement and shared the Serb’s profound seriousness towards health care and hygiene.
“Novak Djokovic is very much engaged in exploring a healthy lifestyle” – Vujosevic
“In my opinion, Novak is the best thing Serbia has right now. This is about a man who is not a doctor of medicine but a doctor of honor and heroism,” Vujosevic said.
“Just look at his move when he gives aid to Bergamo, what it feels like to be noble for the moment and for the act. I know that he is very much engaged in exploring a healthy lifestyle and that he is applying it.”
Turns out, Djokovic helped Vujosevic to recover from a kidney ailment this year in January. “I remember when he messaged me the first time I was in the hospital because of kidney problems. He was playing a tournament in Australia, and he was sending me messages suggesting diets that could help me,” Vujosevic added.
Maybe his defiant words towards the coronavirus vaccine came out of a confused mindset. Also, he wants to have an option to choose what’s best for his body. The Serb is always more inclined towards the natural herbs which cure the diseases of the human body.
For the people suffering from the infectious coronavirus, World No.1 Novak Djokovic has donated millions of Euros in Serbia, Spain, and Italy.
Sue Barker: Maybe Novak Djokovic now will end up with the most Grand Slams
Former British tennis star and expert commentator Sue Barker says that after the current break, she thinks World no. 1 Novak Djokovic may end up with the most Grand Slam singles titles. Speaking to the Daily Mail, Barker says she never thought any player would break Roger Federer’s record but now the Serb looked quite poised to break the all-time record.
“The men’s game is so beautifully poised with Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal vying to win the most Grand Slams. Maybe Djokovic now will end up with the most. I never thought anyone would catch Roger — it’s amazing to think that when he won (Wimbledon) in 2012 that was his 17th, and Novak only had five.”
Barker, a former World No. 3 and French Open champion in 1976, says she would love to see Serena Williams win her 24th Grand Slam singles title on the women’s side. “It would have been fascinating to see how that developed.
In the women’s game, I do genuinely feel for the first time in years we are seeing a young group who are really going to dominate. You get the feeling with that they are going to become household names, and that is what we need, not just players winning a big tournament and then fading.
I would love to see Serena Williams win her 24th (Grand Slam title) because I think she deserves it, but time is ticking on and Wimbledon this summer was a big chance for her, as well as being Roger’s big chance.’
Barker adds that she has been inspired by tennis legend Billie Jean King – one of the pioneering founders of the WTA Tour – without whom she would not have been able to accomplish as much as she did. “I remember Billie Jean telling me as she was approaching retirement, “You are the next generation and you have to take over and make sure you promote us.
If anyone asks for an interview, you just do it. We have to sell it or we won’t have a tour. I used to play 38 weeks a season as a top-10 player and make about £100,000 per year, so it was very different then. Perhaps other than athletics, tennis has produced more female superstars than any other sport, and a lot of that is down to Billie Jean.
