MADRID, 29 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic will not be in the ATP Cup, which takes place in Sydney from January 1, after his departure from the team was announced on Wednesday without explanation, thus fueling uncertainty about his presence at the Australian Open. .
The world number one was replaced in the Serbian team by Dusan Lajovic in the tournament that measures 16 countries from next Saturday. The event also ran out of Austria, replaced by France, after the losses of Dominic Thiem and Dennis Novak.
The casualties also came in the Russian team, where Andrey Rublev and Aslan Karatsev will not be. Djokovic’s is undoubtedly the most famous since it is related to his lack of official confirmation of whether or not he will be in the first ‘Grand Slam’ of the year.
To play the ‘Aus Open’ it is mandatory to be vaccinated against the coronavirus, something that ‘Nole’ has not wanted to talk about. The nine-time champion of the event that starts on January 17 in Melbourne has the tennis world pending its decision.
