British sports writer who was a torment to Novak Djokovic for not getting vaccinated, died while covering the Australian Open.

According to a post by Collin Rugg on X, the 59-year-old Dickson constantly shamed Djokovic for his Covid-19 vaccination decision.

"We are devastated to announce that our wonderful husband and Dad, Mike, has collapsed and died while in Melbourne for the Aus Open," the statement read.

"Novak Djokovic could ruin his chances of becoming the GOAT by refusing to take the vaccine… it is a strange hill to die on for a player, who is so desperate to be loved," was one of the many anti-Djokovic headlines Dickson wrote.
