Novak Djokovic has had an unfortunate start to the 2022 season. He was embroiled in a visa controversy after his arrival in Australia. The Serb had received a vaccine exemption to defend his title Down Under. However, his visa was canceled, and he was subsequently detained at the Melbourne airport after failing to provide sufficient documents justifying his exemption.

Further, the 34-year-old decided to challenge his deportation in the Federal Court of Australia and received a ruling in his favor. However, Australian Immigration Minister Alex Hawke ordered the cancelation of the visa. Finally, a day before the commencement of the Australian Open, the Serb lost the final appeal and returned to his hometown. Recently, Daniel Muksch, who wrote a biography about Djokovic has come up with an interesting revelation.

Novak Djokovic might get vaccinated, claims his biographer

Before the 2022 season started, the ‘Big Three’ were tied at 20 Grand Slam titles each. However, Rafael Nadal created history by lifting the Australian Open title and becoming the first man to win 21 Grand Slam singles titles. Daniel Muksch feels that this might change Novak Djokovic’s opinion on the Covid-19 vaccination.

He said, “what you hear from his environment, I think he’s getting vaccinated. Maybe the final in Melbourne also contributed to that. Rafael Nadal’s 21 is driving him, no question.”

The biographer felt that Djokovic had no problems with the outsider role and especially the harsh criticism in Australia. Further, he added, “This role as an outsider is very much anchored in his character. There’s a nice quote of his that says not all champions are made in the country clubs of the rich. He doesn’t name names, but you can guess who he’s referring to.”
