ATP supported Djokovic's position that he believed he was exempt from medical vaccination to enter Australia. “When traveling to Melbourne, it was clear that Novak Djokovic believed that he was exempted from medical exemption to fully meet the entry regulations.” ATP spokesman said after the Australian Federal government canceled Djokovic's visa.
At the same time, the agency also affirmed that Djokovic was “treated by Australian Border Guard”. ATP spokesman added: “The medical exemption requirements of the player are independent, not related to ATP.
However, we still contact the Australian Tennis regularly (Australian Open) to seek coordination throughout the process. We welcome the results of the hearing on Monday and expect interesting events on the field to take place. ”
Despite supporting Djokovic, ATP and WTA (the Women's Female Association) still sent to Serbia player a message, that above all, he still had to vaccinate. ATP said: “We continue to strongly recommend vaccinating for all players to join ATP Tour. This is something we believe is essential to deal with the pandemic.
This is based on scientific evidence. And it supports health benefits for each person. It also helps us to comply with global tourism regulations, which we predict will become more stringent in the future. We know, 97% of top players were vaccinated before attending this year's Australian Open. ”
In particular, Djokovic has been practicing again to be ready to attend Australian Open. However, the ability to participate in this Grand Slam is still open to him. Because it does not exclude the possibility that Australia will cancel the last minute visa with this Serbia player.
