Novak Djokovic made some news before the start of the Australian Open which begins on Jan. 12.<\/p>\n
Djokovic alleged in a lengthy GQ interview published on Thursday that he was \u201cpoisoned\u201d by lead and mercury in his food while he was briefly detained in Melbourne in 2022 before being deported on the eve of the Australian Open.<\/p>\n
During that time, the 37-year-old was hoping to play in the Australian Open despite not being vaccinated for COVID, but he had his visa cancelled and was eventually kicked out of the country.<\/p>\n
The former No. 1 player in the world was held in a detention hotel while he tried to win a legal battle to stay in the country and play in the tournament, but it turned out to be fruitless.<\/p>\n
\u201cI had some health issues,\u201d Djokovic told the magazine. \u201cAnd I realized that in that hotel in Melbourne I was fed some food that poisoned me,\u201d the 37-year-old Djokovic told the magazine.<\/p>\n
\u201cI had some discoveries when I came back to Serbia. I never told this to anybody publicly, but discoveries that I had a really high level of heavy metal. I had lead, a very high level of lead and mercury.\u201d<\/p>\n
Djokovic said he believed the food was contaminated when asked by the magazine: \u201cThat\u2019s the only way.\u201d<\/p>\n
The 37-year-old refused to elaborate on Friday in Melbourne when asked if he had any evidence his high heavy metal blood levels were linked to the food he was given.<\/p>\n
But he did not back down from the poisoning allegations.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe GQ article came out yesterday. \u2026 I\u2019ve done that interview many months ago,\u201d said Djokovic who is preparing to make a run at his 25th Grand Slam crown and his 11th Australian Open title. \u201cI would appreciate not talking more in detail about that because I\u2019d like to focus on the tennis and why I am here.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you want to see what I\u2019ve said and get more info on that, you can always revert to the article.\u201d<\/p>\n
Australia\u2019s Department of Home affairs did not comment on Djokovic\u2019s allegation because of \u201cprivacy reasons.\u201d <\/p>\n
In other Djokovic-related news, the surefire Hall of Famer will be working with his new coach, Andy Murray, for the first time since he surprisingly hired him in November, adding that he\u2019s \u201cexcited to start the tournament with him.\u201d <\/p>\n
Murray, who ended his illustrious career with three majors, faced Djokovic 36 times and managed to win 11 of their showdowns.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe knows the evolution of my game, I guess the weaknesses and strengths of my game,\u201d Djokovic told reporters. \u201cHe also knows the game, the tennis game, of the biggest players in the world right now because he has just recently retired as a player.<\/p>\n
As for the past 2022 COVID controversy, Djokovic, who ended up rolling to the title the following year, said he doesn\u2019t hold \u201cany grudge over the Australian people.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cA lot of Australian people that I meet in Australia the last few years or elsewhere in the world, have come up to me, apologizing to me for the treatment I received because they were embarrassed by their own government at that point,\u201d he said in the GQ article. \u201cAnd I think the government\u2019s changed, and they reinstated my visa, and I was very grateful for that.<\/p>\n
\u201cI actually love being there, and I think my results are a testament to my sensation of playing tennis and just being in that country.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, Djokovic said he\u2019s in no hurry to meet with the officials who detained him.<\/p>\n
\u201cNever met the people that deported me from that country a few years ago. I don\u2019t have a desire to meet with them. If I do one day, that\u2019s fine as well. I\u2019m happy to shake hands and move on.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
