“Novak Djokovic. First in Tennis. First in Integrity. First Courage. Guess who won this match?” The Trump Cabinet’s official wrote.
Djokovic appeared as a polarizing figure below the height of the coronavirus pandemic over his rejection of receiving the Covid-19 shot. He was forced out of Australia in 2022 after he entered the country to play the Australian Open. He was one of the players who had an exemption from entering the country after he tested positively in Covid weeks before the tournament started.

However, Australian borderline officials decided that he did not meet the requirements for entry. Djokovic’s case went to the courts and his visa was later canceled. He was removed from the tournament, but continued to win it in 2023.
Djokovic has had no regret about his decision to skip that covid shot and stand up for his own principles.

He told “60 minutes” in 2023 that he was not “anti-wax”, but rather “pro-freedom to choose” whether he will get a shot or not.
