Back in February, Novak Djokovic didn’t mince words when he declared, “It’s not a good image for our sport, that’s for sure. The majority of the players feel like there is favouritism happening,” voicing his discontent over what he believed was an unfair anti-doping process following Jannik Sinner’s three-month suspension. Sinner had accepted the ban, admitting “partial responsibility” for his team’s mistakes in 2024. Months later, as the Italian star shines again at the ATP Finals, Djokovic has reignited the discussion during his explosive interview with Piers Morgan, where Sinner was mockingly hailed with a wild ‘GOAT’ comment.

Novak Djokovic is set for a fiery sit-down with British journalist Piers Morgan, a meeting that already carries a hint of old tension. A short teaser from the upcoming interview lit up social media, showing Morgan pushing the Serb to compare two defining controversies. When asked if there was a “cloud” over Jannik Sinner following his doping case, Djokovic didn’t hesitate.

“That cloud will follow him as the cloud of COVID will follow me,” he said, drawing a sharp parallel to his own vaccine saga from 2022, before adding that Morgan should “ask him” for more. The exchange took a witty turn when Morgan quipped, “I only interview GOATs,” prompting laughter, but beneath the banter, the moment carried weight, truth, and unmistakable edge.
