Recently, in the interview with the BBC, Djokovic continued to cause controversy. Accordingly, the Serbian star claimed not to vaccinate and ready to sacrifice the Grand Slam tournament. This is a huge threat to the world's No. 1 position of this player.
However, Djokovic is receiving good news from the tournaments. After Wimbledon, Rome Masters recently welcomed the world's No. 1 player to attend the tournament, despite his not vaccinated. This information was confirmed by the Italian Vice Minister of Sports – Valentina Vezzali on La Repubblica.
“For tennis, the regulations on” enhanced green cards “have not been applied. Therefore, if Djokovic wants to attend Rome Masters 2022, he can completely do it.”
The Covid-19 Green Card is the Certificate of Vaccination of Covid-19 vaccine. Italy currently has a two -layer green card system: enhanced green card (also known as a super green card) that is granted to those who have been vaccinated or have recovered from Covid -19, and the green card is granted to people with negative, valid test results in 48 hours if used for fast and valid tests for 72 hours if PCR test or molecular testing.
