Wimbledon could be the last major tournament of the year for Novak Djokovic.
The star is willing to sacrifice the US Open if proof of a vaccine is needed to get into the country.
– I haven’t changed, he says.
It became a soup like no other last winter when Novak Djokovic He was suspended from the Australian Open and expelled from the country after a legal action that was dragged into court.
In this year’s second Grand Slam, the French Open, Djokovic was forced to participate because no vaccine certificate was required to enter the country and the same is true in England where Wimbledon now begins on Monday.
But later this summer, the problems may resurface.
Not allowed to enter the United States
Djokovic remains not immune to covid-19 and unless the US government changes its rules, he will not be allowed into the country when the US Open is scheduled for early August to September.
– No, it seems now, I will not be accepted. We have to wait and see what happens. Djokovic says according to Eurosport, I would have liked to go to the USA, but since the situation now is not possible.
To the direct question of whether he still refuses to vaccinate, he answers:
– yes.
chasing Nadal
At the French Open, she stopped in the quarter-finals for Novak Djokovic.
He fell against Rafael Nadal who then went on and swept the entire team, thus the Spaniard extended his lead in the total number of Grand Slam titles.
Nadal has 22 – Djokovic and Roger Federer 20.
Like I said, Djokovic is ready to sacrifice the US Open and therefore feels more pressure to deliver now at Wimbledon.
– Looking at the situation, I feel extra motivated. He says I hope to do well in this tournament.
