Novak Djokovic has said he would rather miss out on participating in future tennis competitions than be forced to get vaccinated against COVID-19, saying that “is the price I am willing to pay.”

In an interview with the BBC, the tennis pro, who has not been vaccinated against COVID-19, was asked if he was willing to sacrifice being able to play in future tournaments such as Wimbledon and the French Open due to his stance on the vaccines.
