A journalist in the first row asks if the Serbian has any evidence that his high heavy metal blood levels were linked to the food he was given in hotel detention during 2022.

“The GQ article [which featured these claims] came out yesterday… [but I did] that article many months ago,” Djokovic says.

“I would appreciate not talking more in detail about that because I’d like to focus on the tennis.

“If you want to see what I’ve said, you can always refer to the article,” he finishes.

He doesn’t deny what was written in the article, nor elaborate further. Djokovic is then escorted out of the room. A couple more questions are thrown at him while he leaves, but receive no response.
