Novak Djokovic says he wants to "focus on tennis" after claiming in a magazine interview he had been "poisoned" when detained in a Melbourne hotel.
Local reporters unsuccessfully demanded further explanation as the 37-year-old Serb walked out of a pre-Australian Open news conference which ended in bizarre fashion.
Djokovic, a record 10-time men's champion at Melbourne Park, was deported from the Australian city in 2022 after arriving without a vaccination against Covid-19.
The deportation came when he failed to overturn a decision from the Australian government to cancel his visa on public health grounds.
