They have made it clear on numerous occasions from the organization. No tennis player will be able to play the Australian Open if he is not vaccinated with the complete guideline, this is how the Australian authorities reacted. And in this situation, much has been said about the possible presence or absence of Novak Djokovic, who has always been reluctant to answer about the COVID vaccine, at the tournament. Something that, for the moment, no one has confirmed or denied.
Who will not be in Australia will be Pierre–Hugues Herbert. The French tennis player is the first to confirm his absence at the first Grand Slam of the season. The reason? It is obvious, he is not vaccinated. “Personally, I am not vaccinated and the trip to Australia was not an option for me,” acknowledged the tennis player. Something that he already hinted at last November when he spoke of a “complicated” situation regarding his participation in the Open.
“For my part, it is a personal decision not to get vaccinated. I don’t know how long it will last. I don’t know if it is feasible today to be a tennis player without being vaccinated. Not only does Australia exist. Today, there is the United States, Austria … quite a complex issue, “he declared Herbert.
After his resignation, there are already five confirmed casualties: Roger Federer, Guido Pella, Stan Wawrinka Y Jeremy Chardy.
