“I would very much like to fly to the States. But that’s not possible at the moment,” said the Serb on Saturday before the start of the grass classic in Wimbledon. When asked twice whether he had ruled out vaccination for himself, Djokovic answered “yes” twice.
Djokovic was expelled from the country shortly before the start of the Australian Open at the beginning of the year due to the lack of vaccination and was therefore unable to defend his title in Melbourne. He was also unable to start at the tournaments in Indian Wells and Miami. The fact that he probably won’t be able to take part in the US Open, which begins on August 29, is “an extra motivation” for Wimbledon, said the six-time winner. With the absence of Russian Daniil Medvedev and injured Alexander Zverev, Djokovic is number one.
