Beijing time on December 23, the news, from the 2022 Australian Open to start less than a month, the world's first Djokovic can still participate in the game is still unknown. Previously, the Australian Open official stated that only players who have received two doses of vaccines may be eligible to participate in the Australian Open. Whether Djokovic Djokovic, who has been keeping the vaccine a secret, can participate has become the focus of attention of many fans.
Djokovic has repeatedly stated publicly that whether to inject vaccines is a personal medical privacy, and he will not disclose relevant information to anyone. Previously, Djokovic had publicly expressed his opposition to vaccination, which led many media and fans to speculate that Djokovic was likely not vaccinated and that he was likely to be absent from the Australian Open early next year.
However, the latest news made Deyo's participation possible. Australian Open tournament director Craig Terry showed in an interview on Wednesday that although he did not know if Djokovic had been vaccinated, he hoped that Djokovic would play at the Australian Open. Terry said a small percentage of australian open players and staff would be granted medical exemptions to compete at the Australian Open without injections.
Since Federer has decided not to qualify for next year's Australian Open, Nadal has just recovered from injury and contracted the new crown, and whether he can catch up with the Australian Open is still unknown, so Djokovic has become the box office guarantee of the Australian Open. If Djokovic is absent because of vaccine problems, it will be a huge loss for the organizers and fans of the event.
Djokovic is the defending champion of the Australian Open, having won a total of nine times at the Australian Open. The Australian Open is Djokovic's best venue, and next year his goal is to be able to defend his title at the Australian Open, becoming the first player in the Big Three to win a Grand Slam title of 21.
