Novak Djokovic | The Australian Open opens a way for possible exceptions with unvaccinated players

Andy Murray was asked again about this circumstance after defeating Rafa Nadal at the Mubadala World Tennis Championship. The Briton confessed that he would be surprised not to see Djokovic in Melbourne “because I think the vaccine is to be safe. I know some people say that they are not effective because now more vaccines are needed against the new variants and everything, but I think that is the case with many diseases“he said, although he also accepted that”we are very close and we do not know what is going on, so it can be assumed that he is potentially reluctant to do so, so if I hear that he does not go would I be surprised? No I dont think so“.

In the last hours a new absence has also transpired due to the personal position against vaccines. The australian Olivia Gadecki, number 237 of the WTA and one of the great promises for the future of Australian tennis, he assured that will not be at the Grand Slam local, where he could easily have received an invitation. Ashleigh Barty, the world’s number one, said that “It is your decision, it does not change our relationship. It changes absolutely nothing about what I think of Liv. Even though we won’t see her this Australian summer, it’s going to be exciting when we see her again.“.
