Watch Novak Djokovic describe how his time in a detention centre in Australia left him feeling “powerless” – and how the reaction from his tennis colleagues “really hurt” him.
Speaking exclusively to the BBC, the 20-time Grand Slam winner reflected on being detained in Melbourne before the Australian Open last month.
The Serbian tennis star did not compete in the tournament and was deported from Australia after the government cancelled his visa in a row over his vaccination status.
