Speaking to CNN in Dubai, Novak Djokovic says he has no regrets about his determination to stay unvaccinated and the truth that he has missed Indian Wells and Miami for the second consecutive yr, which has contributed to his drop within the rankings.
Carlos Alcaraz received the title at Indian Wells, and the 22-time Grand Slam champion says he deserves to carry the highest spot. “I congratulate Alcaraz,” he stated. “He absolutely deserves to come back to No. 1.”

Djokovic, who will make his return on the European clay this spring as he mounts his cost for a 3rd Roland-Garros title, says he needs to give attention to the current.
“It’s a pity that I wasn’t able to play in Indian Wells and Miami,” he stated. “I love those tournaments. I had plenty of success there. But at the same time, it is the conscious decision I made and I knew that there is always a possibility that I won’t go. And it is the current state or current situation that I hope will change for later this year for the US Open. That is the most important tournament for me on the American soil.”
No regrets for the quickly to be 36-year-old.
“No, I have no regrets,” Djokovic stated in an interview with CNN’s Becky Anderson. “I’ve learned through life that regrets only hold you back and basically make you live in the past. And I don’t want to do that. I also don’t want to live too much in the future. I want to be as much as in the present moment, but of course think about future, create a better future.”
