World No. 1 Novak Djokovic isn't ready to say whether he will defend his Australian Open title next month in Melbourne.

The issue: Tournament participants are required to be vaccinated against COVID-19, and Djokovic has refused to say whether he has been. He previously has stated his opposition to vaccination mandates for players.
