Australian Open: the vaccine or the Grand Slam, Djokovic will decide

The presence of Novak Djokovic for the first Grand Slam tournament in Melbourne is not yet certain. The world number one leaves room for doubt pending an official press release from the Australian Tennis Federation.

Not being vaccinated against Covid-19 or at least having taken part against vaccination, the presence of Novak Djokovic is more than uncertain at the Australian Open. Indeed, the Australian authorities have announced that they will not accept unvaccinated players. ” I will decide whether or not to go to Australia after seeing an official press release from the Australian Tennis Federation. As of yet, there are no official announcements or releases. Until there is one, I won’t talk about it anymore. When the conditions for going to Australia and playing there are officially known, then I’ll see what I’m doing personally, and also what other players think ” the three-time defending champion in Melbourne told AFP.
