Novak Djokovic received the fantastic news that he will have the green light to challenge Rafael Nadal, Daniil Medvedev and Stefanos Tsitsipas at the upcoming French Open.
The Serbian sensation famously missed the chance to compete at the Australian Open after the local government deported him following his stance against vaccination. There were doubts about the participation of Novak in some other top tournaments. It is not plausible that Djokovic will play in Indian Wells and Miami because unvaccinated people cannot enter the United States.
Fortunately, the French government announced that they would change their policy about the handling of the Coronavirus. Therefore, from the 14th of March, people will not be obliged to wear a mask, and there will be the suspension of the vaccine pass. Therefore, Djokovic will be able to play in Monte Carlo and at the French Open where he will be the defending champion.
