The statement of the coach who worked with Serena Williams caught the attention of fans when he said that refusing to get vaccinated indirectly helped Djokovic achieve great success.
Former Serena Williams coach Rennae Stubbs announced that Novak Djokovic’s inability to compete in 2022 because of his refusal to get vaccinated against Covid-19 has indirectly enhanced his position in the world of tennis.
The Serbian tennis player was banned from competing at the Australian Open and US Open in 2022 along with a number of other prestigious tournaments because he was not vaccinated. However, Djokovic still tried to maintain his top form during his break.
The former world No. 1 in doubles pointed out that the fact that Djokovic missed tournaments due to his stance of not wanting to be vaccinated partly helped him maintain his fitness because his body rested for a while.
“The pandemic is not something to be taken lightly. Nole still faces it, refusing to get vaccinated and accepting not being able to play like the three or four Grand Slams he probably would have won, but it has given him extra toughness and endurance “ , Stubbs shared in a podcast with Andrea Petkovic.
“He really let his body rest for a while. So I think that of course helped him. I’m sure he probably wanted to go out there and take get the racket,” she added.
Not competing at the Australian and US Open 2022 suddenly became Novak Djokovic’s advantage. He is not under much pressure to protect the huge bonus points of the Grand Slam system.
Nole’s dominance this season is inevitable. There are no external factors that can stop the world’s No. 1 tennis player from conquering a series of dazzling peaks in the tennis industry. Now, the only thing that can stop Nole is probably time and health.
