World’s number one, Novak Djokovic , which was ‘dropped’ from the ATP Cup , will be present at the Australian Open 2022 . The Serbian tennis player will play the first Grand Slam of the season after being the protagonist of a tug of war with the Australian authorities to travel to the country without getting vaccinated from the Covid .
Djokovic has announced the news through his social networks. The one from Belgrade will be able to travel to Australia, a country that had closed its borders to all those visitors who were not immunized, thanks to obtaining an exemption permit. Nole thus heads to Australian lands to prepare for the tournament that will begin on January 17 and will run until the 30th.
” Happy New Year everyone! Wishing you health, love and happiness in every present moment and that you feel love and respect towards all beings on this wonderful planet. I spent a fantastic quality time with my loved ones during the holidays and today I am heading to Australia with a waiver permit. Let’s go 2022 !! “.
There have been many Australian politicians, including their Prime Minister Scott Morrison , who spoke in public about this controversial issue. All of them stated repeatedly that Djokovic would not enter the country without complying with its strong restrictions, that is, being vaccinated, but it has been the Victorian Government which has given a special permission to enter its territory.
Djokovic, champion of 20 ‘Grandes’, nine of them conquered in Melbourne Park , will be at the Australian Open to defend his crown and cited with history: if he repeats victory he will be able to tie the tie with Rafa Nadal and Roger Federer as the most tennis players Grand Slams have conquered throughout their careers. Without the Swiss in the way, the only one who can get in the way is the Spanish tennis player who already plays in Australia to prepare the appointment.
The unknown about quarantine
For Djokovic it is a relief to obtain this permission and the only question is whether he will have to comply with any quarantine when you arrive in the country or you can start training from this Wednesday. Nole always counted on being able to be at the Australian Open, so much so that he spent Christmas in Marbella to work there for the start of the season.
