Djokovic wagers on a COVID cure as he hunts for tennis history

The pandemic has obstructed Novak Djokovic’s walk to tennis history, so the 34-year-old might be wholeheartedly putting his faith in a cure for COVID to get his hands on yet another Grand Slam.

The Serbian whiz, who turned into a focal point of the worldwide vaccination debate over his bombed attempt to enter Australia without being vaccinated, holds a larger part stake in a Danish biotech firm meaning to foster a treatment to counter COVID-19, the organization’s CEO told Reuters.

QuantBioRes supervisor Ivan Loncarevic, who depicted himself as a business visionary, said the tennis player’s securing of the 80% stake was made in June 2020 yet declined to say the amount it was.

The organization is fostering a peptide, which hinders the Covid from tainting the human cell, hopes to send off clinical preliminaries in Britain this mid year, as per Loncarevic, who focused on the firm was dealing with a treatment, not an antibody.

The CEO said the organization had around twelve specialists working in Denmark, Australia and Slovenia. As indicated by the Danish organization register, Djokovic and his significant other Jelena own 40.8% and 39.2% of the organization, individually.

A representative for Djokovic didn’t promptly react to a solicitation for input.

Djokovic has delighted in extraordinary achievement – Forbes recorded him on the planet’s best 50 most generously compensated competitors for 2021. It determined his on-court income at $4.5 million, predominated by the $30 million it said he procured off court.

However time may not be on the world number one’s side in his journey to be seen as the best player is history, as he progresses further into his 30s.

He had frantically wanted to play in Australian Open this month with his sights immovably set on netting a 21st huge homerun title, which would move him above archrivals Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal.

Disappointed Djokovic currently risks being frozen out of tennis, with rules on voyagers who are unvaccinated fixing in the third year of the pandemic and a few competitions reexamining exclusions.

The most prompt concern is the next Grand Slam – the French Open in May where Rafael Nadal has as of now amassed an amazing 13 titles – after the nation’s games service said on Monday there would be no exclusion from another vaccine pass law.
