Watch: Heckler Screams for Star Tennis Player Novak Djokovic to Get Vaccinated, Only to Get Silenced After He Serves Key Ace

Tennis legend Novak Djokovic proved he’s the No. 1 player in the world by stoically shutting down a heckler who screamed that he should “Get vaccinated” by reflexively acing his opponent to win his match.

The incident unfolded Friday at the Australian Open as Djokovic faced off against Argentine star Tomas Martin Etcheverry in the third round.

Just as the 10-time Australian Open champion prepared to serve for match point, an unruly fan yelled from the stands, “Get vaccinated, mate!”

Djokovic stepped back for a few seconds before serving an ace to advance to the fourth round after defeating his opponent in straight sets.

On Sunday, Djokovic advanced to the quarterfinals after beating Frenchman Adrian Mannarino in straight sets.

The 24-time Grand Slam winner has been hailed a hero by millions of fans for championing bodily autonomy by refusing to get vaccinated at the height of COVID-19 hysteria.

In 2022, Djokovic was deported from Australia for refusing to get jabbed. He returned to the tournament in 2023 to secure his 10th Australian Open title.

Do you believe receiving the COVID-19 vaccine should be a choice?

The Serbian superstar has talked about how difficult and lonely it was to stand by his principles and refuse to bend the knee to vaccine bullies.

“I had basically most of the world against me,” Djokovic said last month on CBS’ “60 Minutes.” “I had that kind of experience on the tennis court with crowds that were not maybe cheering me on, but I never had this particular experience before in my life.”

The trailblazing sports icon said he’s not anti-vaccine, he’s just “pro-freedom to choose.”

Thanks to relentless media pressure and threats of getting fired or socially ostracized, more than 270 million Americans (or 81 percent of the population) have gotten the COVID-19 shots.

At the height of vaccine hysteria, in many places, you couldn’t go to a movie theater or a concert or eat at most restaurants unless you were vaccinated. And you had to show “vaccine passports” to gain entry.

All this sounds crazy in retrospect.

Many Americans now say they regret succumbing to mob bullying and getting jabbed amid concerns over the potential dangers of the vaccines.

Media mogul Dan Bongino said getting the coronavirus shot was “the biggest mistake of my life.”

“I should have waited. It’s one of the greatest regrets of my life,” he said in August 2022. “I freaked out.”

Bongino said he ended up getting COVID twice despite getting vaccinated twice.

Podcaster Megyn Kelly has expressed similar regrets.

“I’m sorry I did to myself,” she said in September. “I regret getting the vaccine. I don’t think I needed it. I think I would have been fine.”

A critical lesson to be gleaned from the tragic comedy of errors that was America’s pandemic response is that we must navigate such events without trampling everyone’s civil liberties and shutting down the entire country.


A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

 

I heard a chilling comment the other day: “We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” 

 

That wasn’t said by a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday prophet. No, former U.S. national security advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said that to the founder of The Western Journal, Floyd Brown.

 

Gen. Flynn’s warning means that the 2024 election is the most important election for every single living American. If we lose this one to the wealthy elites who hate us, hate God, and hate what America stands for, we can only assume that 248 years of American history and the values we hold dear to our hearts may soon vanish.

 

The end game is here, and as Benjamin Franklin said, “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”

 

All of this means that without you, it’s over. We have the platform, the journalists, and the experience to fight back hard, but Big Tech is strangling us through advertising blacklists, shadow bans, and algorithms. Did you know that we’ve been blacklisted by 90% of advertisers? Without direct support from you, our readers, we can’t continue the fight.

 

Can we count on your support? It may not seem like much, but a Western Journal Membership can make all the difference in the world because when you support us directly, you cut Big Tech out of the picture. They lose control. 

 

A monthly Western Journal Membership costs less than one coffee and breakfast sandwich each month, and it gets you access to ALL of our content — news, commentary, and premium articles. You’ll experience a radically reduced number of ads, and most importantly you will be vitally supporting the fight for America’s soul in 2024.

 

We are literally counting on you because without our members, The Western Journal would cease to exist. Will you join us in the fight? 

 

Sincerely,

Josh Manning

Deputy Managing Editor
