Novak Djokovic’s season has been quite turbulent due to his decision not to get vaccinated against the Coronavirus. The Serbian phenomenon had to miss the Australian Open and the US Open, in addition to suffering serious damage to his image.
For the same reason, the former world number 1 could not participate in the American Masters 1000 (Indian Wells, Miami, Montreal and Cincinnati). After the disappointment suffered at Roland Garros, Nole redeemed himself by triumphing at Wimbledon for the fourth consecutive time (the seventh in history).
In addition to having equaled his idol Pete Sampras, the 35-year-old from Belgrade has shortened the distance that separates him from Rafael Nadal in the historical Grand Slam classification. The ‘Djoker’ will play the Paris-Bercy Masters 1000 and the Turin ATP Finals this last stretch of the season, waiting to find out if he will be able to travel to Australia next January.
The 21-time Grand Slam champion has revealed that his lawyers are in contact with Australian authorities and he is expected to receive a response in the coming weeks.
