The French journalist who interviewed Novak Djokovic without knowing that he had tested positive for Coronavirus said he was told not to ask him about vaccination for the virus.

Franck Ramella from L'Equipe sports daily spoke with the World No.1 in Belgrade on December 18, two days after the date Djokovic has stated he tested positive for Covid-19.

Ramella wrote: "The instructions were clear - no questions about vaccination." The journalist said the topic was clearly "very sensitive." "So we didn't ask him if he had made efforts to get tested."
