The Spanish Feliciano Lopez, who will play the doubles final of the ATP 500 in Acapulco with Stefanos Tsitsipas, spoke with Brand about his other facet related to tennis, that of being the director of the Madrid Open, a contest that will take place from April 26 to May 8.
In the interview, the tennis player who knew how to win the Davis Cup five times emphasized his desire to have the presence of Novak Djokovic in the Madrid event: “We as a tournament do not have the power to decide who can come and who cannot. People do not enter the countries because of what the tennis tournaments say, but because of the laws that exist at that time, which are not imposed by a tournament or a federation. I hope that in the month of May Spain will be like it is now, that the COVID continues to drop and that everyone can enter freely. In that case, Novak will be welcome like all players.“.
Since the beginning of the year, the Serbian could only compete in one event (ATP 500 in Dubai), where he fell to the Czech Jiri Vesely and lost the top of the world ranking.
Although Djokovic is welcome on Spanish soil, it is necessary to see how the health situation is in the country so that he can be allowed to enter without obtaining a health pass.
