Novak Djokovic, Serbia's global tennis talisman, tested positive for COVID-19 on December 16, 2021 and was unable to participate in the Australian Open. He appealed the decision, but three Federal Court of Australia judges unanimously dismissed his application. His iconoclasm had come back to bite him, and he has made an unforced error not on the tennis court but outside it. He has won the Australian Open nine times, French open twice, Wimbledon six times and US open three times, bringing his total grand slam haul to 20. Djokovic is a 6'2" tall, aggressive baseline player with a high court coverage span and high agility. He speaks five languages and eats a vegetarian, plant-based diet with a bit of fish. He is not a fan of surgeries or medications and believes that human bodies are self-healing mechanisms.
