“Tennis players have been informed that soon the French government will pass a law banning unvaccinated athletes from participating in any sports competition. Players will have to be fully vaccinated or have a medical certificate that exempts them from vaccination for medical reasons.” which will be held in May / June will not be exempt from the new guidelines.
These could complicate the already insanely complicated situation of the Serbian No. 1 ranking. Recall: he was deported from Australia and did not play in the tournament. This is the end of an almost two-week series with a Serbian tennis player, but also just the beginning of questions about the Serb’s future.
Another twist on the Djokovic case? May be admitted to Roland Garros
Djoković – due to his reluctance to vaccinate – may have a big problem with participation in the next this year’s and future tournaments. However, as “La Gazzetta dello Sport” informs, it does not have to be that way. It turns out that the French authorities will also allow people who have had the infection up to 6 months before the competition to enter the country. Djoković would be in such a situation. Serb maintains that he tested positive for coronavirus on December 16.

However, it is not really known what the health status of Djokovic is. The Serb claims to have contracted Covid twice: in June 2020 after a series of Adria Tour tournaments, and in December 2021. Only in the first case he informed about it on social media and in the second he was silent. It was only in the course of the hearing in Australia that the world learned that Djoković was to obtain a positive result on Covid on December 16.
What about other Grand Slam tournaments? It is difficult to judge, because there is still a lot of time to them. Currently, Djoković could enter Great Britain without being vaccinated. He would only need to stay in isolation for 10 days and show two negative tests. Then he could take part in. By contrast, the United States, hosting the US Open, requires a detailed form to be completed from anyone wishing to enter the country.
