'I was poisoned', this legendary tennis player made a big revelation, created a storm in the sports world

The world's great tennis player Novak Djokovic has made a surprising revelation which has created a stir in the sports world. Djokovic has made this claim before the Australian Open-2025. Djokovic revealed that he was poisoned when he was detained before the Australian Open in 2022.

What was the matter?

At that time, there was a rule in Australia that no one could enter the country without Covid-19 vaccination and Djokovic was accused of giving wrong information while traveling to Melbourne to participate in the Grand Slam. His visa was canceled before the Australian Open and he was later deported from Australia. Djokovic fought a legal battle for this and during this time he was kept in a hotel in Melbourne.

His revelations have created a stir in the sports world. Many people are seeing his claim as truth, while some critics are linking it to his psychological condition. This is not the first time in Djokovic's career that he has faced mental and physical pressure. But this statement given by him seems more serious this time, because it is talking about causing physical harm.

Djokovic will go for 11th title in Australian Open

Djokovic has once again come to participate in the Australian Open where he will compete for his 25th title in this Grand Slam starting from January 12. Djokovic said, I had some health problems. I realized that in that hotel in Melbourne, I was fed food which was laced with poison. This was the only way this could be done.

'The revelation was made upon returning to Serbia'

This 24-time Grand Slam champion revealed that after returning to Serbia, he was tested in which it was found that he had consumed poisonous substances. That year, Djokovic could not even participate in the US Open, the last Grand Slam of the year, due to not getting the Covid-19 vaccination. However, despite all these controversies, Djokovic came to participate in the Australian Open in 2023 and won his 10th title in Melbourne. After this, this Serbian player also participated in the first Grand Slam of the year in 2024.

Djokovic said that he has no complaints about Melbourne or Australia, but what happened to him at that time remains an important chapter of his career. Djokovic said, to be honest, I was quite shocked by this. Every time I reach Australia and have to go through passport control and immigration, I remember what happened three years ago. I always feel that the person who is looking at my passport will either detain me or let me go.
