Since Djokovic insisted on not getting vaccinated, he has played only 1 match in Dubai this year, and was eliminated by Viselli in the third round because of the long absence of the battlefield.
On March 17, the french open tournament director Maurismo announced that according to the current epidemic prevention situation in France, Djokovic can also come to the French Open without the need for a new crown vaccine.
The epidemic prevention policy has been relaxed, and the legal network no longer requires the production of vaccination certificates
It is reported that since March 14, the french open has begun to loosen the epidemic prevention measures: citizens take public transportation to enter public places such as bars, movie theaters, restaurants, etc., and no longer need to show vaccination certificates.
As soon as the policy came out, the unvaccinated players represented by Djokovic breathed a sigh of relief, and they were finally no longer restricted by the vaccine and could compete freely.
French Open Tournament Director Maurice Mo is optimistic: "At the 2022 French Open, we welcome all players and spectators to participate in the game and enjoy the tennis feast. “
With this year's French Open taking place from 22 May to 5 June, Djokovic is expected to play his first Grand Slam tournament of the year as the defending champion.
The epidemic prevention situation is uncertain, and it is not excluded that the scene of the Australian Open will reappear
Judging from the current situation of the epidemic, unvaccinated players such as Djokovic should not be too happy too soon, because the situation is uncertain.
With the relaxation of the epidemic prevention policy in France, the data of the domestic daily increase in new crown infections continued to rise, and the daily increase in the number of new crown infections on the 16th 108832, breaking through the 100,000 case mark again.
Many experts have called for caution in approaching epidemic prevention policies, arguing that France's action is political rather than a legitimate medical one.
The president of the French Tennis Association also said that the prospects of the new crown epidemic are uncertain, and there is a possibility of changes in the rules of the tournament: "At present, the epidemic is still severe, and we must be careful and cautious. If the situation gets worse, the government will also take stricter measures, and the event must also comply with government regulations. “
At the beginning of the year, the Australian Open also approved Djokovic's participation, but the Australian government never approved it, and Djokovic, who finally arrived in Melbourne and participated in the lottery and training, was still deported.
Do you think Djokovic will be able to participate in this year's French Open?
