Watch maker Hublot, a sponsor of Novak Djokovic, believes getting vaccinated is a personal choice, the Swiss luxury group told Reuters in its first comment since the world men’s tennis No. 1 was expelled from Australia this month.
The Serbian player, who is not vaccinated against COVID-19, was deported on Jan. 16 ahead of the Australian Open after a federal court dismissed his appeal to stay in the country and play the tournament.
Hublot CEO Ricardo Guadalupe said the brand, owned by French luxury conglomerate LVMH (LVMH.PA), was waiting to hear from Djokovic about his experience.
