Djokovic wants to 'focus on tennis' after poisoning claim

NOVAK DJOKOVIC refused to elaborate on his claims that he was poisoned while being held in detention in Australia three years ago.

The 10-time Australian Open champion was ultimately deported after entering the country without having been vaccinated against Covid-19.

He was held at the Park Hotel for five days and, in an interview with GQ magazine published on Thursday, Djokovic claimed for the first time publicly that the food he was given there poisoned him.
