Overview
- In a teaser for Piers Morgan Uncensored, Morgan opened by apologizing for calling Djokovic a liar and cheat during the 2022 Australia deportation saga.
- Djokovic accepted the apology and said his Covid-era stance was misinterpreted, stressing he supported freedom of choice rather than being pro or anti-vaccine.
- Asked about Jannik Sinner, Djokovic said the doping episode will leave a lasting cloud over the Italian, drawing a parallel to the lingering scrutiny he faces from 2022.
- He questioned the transparency, timing and length of Sinner’s three-month suspension, noting it fell between Grand Slams after WADA accepted an accidental clostebol contamination explanation.
- Djokovic expressed empathy for Sinner and said he did not believe the violation was intentional, as outlets promoted more of the interview to come, including Morgan’s lighthearted “I only interview GOATs” quip.
