Novak Djokovic got the bright idea to hire the recently retired Andy Murray as his coach, at least through the Australian Open.

Novak Djokovic is speaking out about how he believes he got food poisoning during his 2022 detention in Melbourne, Australia. In a new February 2025 cover interview with GQ published Thursday, Jan. 9, the professional tennis player opened up about getting detained during the Australian Open due to not being vaccinated against COVID-19.

Novak Djokovic claimed that his deportation from Australia was politically motivated, not related to his vaccination status or COVID. He argued that he was seen by the public as a "hero" for anti-vax sentiments and that the decision to deport him was influenced by politics rather than health concerns.
