The Serbian once again asked for respect for his decision not to get vaccinated for COVID-19
MADRID, 14 Jul. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic affirmed that he will not go to the US Open, the fourth and last ‘Grand Slam’ of the season that will be played from August 29 to September 11, if he is not authorized to play the tournament without being vaccinated, a situation that already It affected him in Australia at the beginning of the year after being deported and not being able to compete in the first ‘big’.
“I am a professional tennis player and I want to be where I can play. I respect everyone and I would like my decision to be respected at least. If they authorize it, I will be in New York. And if not, it is not the end of the world” Djokovic said Thursday at the opening of a tennis complex in Bosnia.
The Serbian’s decision not to get vaccinated for COVID-19 prevented him from playing the Australian Open this season, so he would miss the ‘Grand Slam’ again if the situation does not change. “I really hope I can come back in January. I love Australia and I want to come back. And that’s where I’ve gotten my best results,” he said.
“I’m not interested in politics. I have my own points of view, and what I want is for everyone to have the freedom to choose what is best for each one,” said the 21-time Grand Slam champion, who still feels young after winning his seventh Wimbledon last Sunday and who has “many years and opportunities” left to play.
