The unvaccinated tennis star was not allowed to take part in the Australian Open and had to leave the country. Now the Serb is on the entry list for a tournament in a country where no vaccination is required for entry.
After his noisy expulsion from Australia, tennis star Novak Djokovic is aiming for his comeback in February at the ATP tournament in Dubai. The world number one from Serbia has registered for the 500 tournament in the desert (February 21 to 26), which he has already won five times. In Dubai, a corona vaccination is not mandatory for entry.
Djokovic had missed the current Australian Open after a defeat in a federal court. The judges had rejected the objection of the world number one against the cancellation of his visa. The 20-time Grand Slam winner was unvaccinated and entered the country with a medical exemption.
What Djokovic’s season planning looks like after the tournament in Dubai is still completely open. A corona vaccination is a prerequisite for traveling to the Masters tournaments in Indian Wells and Miami.
