Novak Djokovic - my side of the story

The world number one tennis player is sticking to his guns - he will not get the Covid vaccine and is willing to give up tennis titles and records.

He's made headlines around the world in recent months - and now, we have Novak Djokovic's version of the events that led to the Australian Open. The tennis star was booted out of Australia before the tournament began - denied the chance to defend his Grand Slam title after his legal battle with the government over his vaccination status - and its implications for public health and public confidence on Covid. For 5 Minutes On, Amol Rajan heads to Belgrade to speak with Novak. He says he's not an anti-vaxxer but in spite of everything that happened to him he is willing to stick to his guns and refuse to be vaccinated even if that means missing out on other major tournaments.
