Novak Djokovic is urged by the UK health secretary to reflect on his Covid jab refusal.
Former British number one Tim Henman, who is on the committee of the All England Club, which organises Wimbledon, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme he thought it was unlikely Djokovic would be stopped from playing there as the tournament was planning to follow government guidance.
But he said by taking himself out of the chance to compete in some Grand Slams Djokovic was "certainly jeopardising his chances of being the greatest male player of all time".Watch Novak Djokovic describe how his time in a detention centre in Australia left him feeling "powerless" Henman added: "I think that speaks volumes to his courage, conviction and belief that this is what is best for him."
Five-time Wimbledon women's doubles champion Pam Shriver said she hoped the "right trusted person" could sit down with Djokovic and "walk him through all of the steps that make the science and the medicine trustworthy". She said him not getting the vaccine was "terrible for tennis" and said he was seen as a leader by many people both in his home country of Serbia and throughout the world.
