BELGRADE, Serbia — Novak Djokovic says if an anti-coronavirus vaccination is compulsory for players to return to the tennis tours, he won't take it. 

The world No. 1 said in a live Facebook chat that he won’t “be forced by someone to take a vaccine in order to be able to travel.” 

Djokovic said when the tours are open again he knows he has a big decision to make. 

A vaccination against COVID-19 has yet to be made. 

He and his wife have previously spoken against vaccinations.
