On December 8, the Australian Organizing Committee has officially announced the list of male and female players attending the 2022 season in Melbourne. Notably, Novak Djokovic has been filled in this list.
Earlier, Djokovic created a big controversy in the felt ball village. The reason is that the Australian government requires all the players to inject two cavity-19 vaccines to attend the Australian Open 2022. However, Nole is said to have not been vaccinated and also meant to protest this idea.
With Djokovic being filled in the list of 108 Australian players expanded 2022, many sources said the Serbian tennis player will be exempted from CIVI-19 vaccination. However, the CEO of the tournament – Mr. Craig Tiley recently denied this information. Mr. Tiley said the list can still change, and anyone who attends the prize must be fully vaccinated.
“I want to clarify this issue again: no one is allowed to be present in Australia 2022 if you do not vaccinate the Covid-19 vaccine.
This morning, I just saw the report. Up to now, no player has been exempted. For the previous list, BTC did not commit that all will be entering the main round and drawing. We just closed the last list for Australia to expand 2022, ”Mr. Craig Tiley said.
Thus, Djokovic's ability to attend Australian Open is still open. Currently, the world's number one tennis player has not yet confirmed whether or not Australia will play early next year. He also refused to reveal the vaccination of Covid-19.
Australia expanded 2022 will officially start on December 17 and last for 2 weeks (until December 30). Currently, Djokovic is the defending champion of the tournament, and the women's application is Naomi Osaka.
