The complexity of their history traces back to January 2022, when Djokovic’s visa was cancelled and he was subsequently deported from Australia before the Australian Open. During this turbulent period, Morgan did not restrain his criticism in any capacity. He branded Djokovic a “Covid rule cheat,” called him an “immigration form liar,” and labelled him an “anti-vaxxer icon,” going so far as to celebrate Djokovic’s deportation on social media with celebratory emojis.
Morgan had consistently defended Australia’s stringent vaccine requirements and argued that such rules should apply equally to all individuals, regardless of their fame or status in the sporting world. His public commentary during this period was unsparing and relentless, reflecting the heated nature of the debate surrounding Djokovic’s vaccination stance and his legal battles with Australian authorities.
However, Morgan’s position underwent a remarkable and unexpected transformation during the 2024 Wimbledon Championships. Following an incident where Djokovic visibly expressed frustration during a media engagement and walked out of a BBC interview, Morgan’s stance shifted dramatically.
Rather than continuing his previous pattern of criticism, Morgan publicly defended Djokovic, stating on social media that the Serbian player “deserves way more respect” from both media and fans. Morgan described Djokovic as a “monumental d***” in a manner intended as support, suggesting that the player’s frustration was justified given the relentless scrutiny and disrespect he had endured.
Following this statement of support, Morgan extended an invitation for an interview, promising to treat Djokovic with greater fairness than other journalists had provided.
The confirmation of the interview has reignited significant controversy among the tennis fans on social media. Many supporters of Djokovic have voiced their frustration, with numerous fans bringing up Morgan’s harsh 2022 commentary surrounding the Australian Open visa cancellation saga.
