In his recent interview with BBC, Novak Djokovic says (link to the interview starting at 3:51):

You know, no one in the whole process, during the Australian saga, has asked me on my stance or my opinion on vaccination.

I went through this great article on perfect and also the one on tenses, but still have some doubts - is the above usage of present perfect from Novak correct?

Following the Reichenbach model, the Reference Time here is in the past (during the Australian saga) and the Event Time seems to me to be the same. As such, should the past simple be used instead?

    Are you asking about 'no one ... has asked me', which is OK, or 'asked me on my stance', which is not? – Michael Harvey Feb 16 '22 at 18:15

    I would say that the clear implication is that he thinks of the "Australian saga" as still ongoing. With the disclaimer that off-the-cuff speech is often imprecise, all the more so in the field of sports, and that he might be conflating multiple time frames (e.g.: "during the Australian saga," if he regards it as concluded, can be understood as a parenthetical aside with some omitted and assumed language like "in the whole process, or even during the Australian saga, has..." – Andy Bonner Feb 16 '22 at 18:16

    @MichaelHarvey about 'no one ... has asked me' - I didn't even notice the preposition mistake. It should have been "asked me about my stance", shouldn't it? – InStitches Feb 16 '22 at 18:41

    @InStitches I think "has asked me" is fine. He's basically talking about what has happened up to this point, so the present perfect is a natural choice. – stangdon Feb 16 '22 at 23:42
