Novak Djokovic's fake Covid test

In December 2021, the tennis player was involved in a controversial story over his Covid test results. Allegedly, the player was given an entry pass at the airport despite his positive results.

Most fans took it to social media to question the allegations, and certainly, some documents were somewhat unclear. The documents that the player's lawyers submitted to the court in Australia included two Covid (PCR) test certificates.

However, one had a positive result dated 16 December, and the other one had a negative result on 22 December 2021. In an interview with the BBC in early 2022, the player said,

I don't like someone thinking I misused something or used something in my favour to get a positive PCR test and eventually get into Australia. I was never against vaccination, but I've always supported the freedom to choose what you put in your body.

From 2006, he was coached by former Slovak tennis player Marian Vajda, who handed over to Boris Becker, who became the player's head coach. That same year, Novak received his first two ATP titles by winning the Dutch Open and Moselle Open. As a result, he broke into ATP's top 20 rankings list for the first time in his career.

Winning the Australian Open was what made Novak Đjoković's fame skyrocket. In the tournament, he won the semi-finals against the defending champion Roger Federer. Additionally, he won his first Tennis Masters Cup title that same year. As if that was not enough, the player was at his best in 2011 as he won three of the four Grand Slam titles, US Open, Wimbledon, and Australian Open.
