Only those who have been vaccinated are allowed to enter Australia. In this regard, the national authorities make no exception for tennis players either. Djokovic has the way to defend his title at the Australian Open. The first Grand Slam tournament of the year, which the Serb has won nine times, takes place in the last two weeks of January.
At the ATP Cup, Serbia, winner of the first edition of the tournament two years ago, will face Norway, Chile and Spain, which competed without Rafael Nadal, in the group games. Last year’s winner Russia is up against Italy, Austria and Australia. Germany plays against Canada, Great Britain and the USA. The fourth group consists of Greece, Poland, Argentina and Georgia.
According to the current entry list, 18 players from the top 20 of the world rankings will take part in Sydney. In addition to Nadal, only Roger Federer is missing from this group.
