La Vezzali on Djokovic: “If he wants to play the Internazionali di Roma, he can do it”

Paris maybe not, Rome maybe yes. Novak Djokovic could play for the Internazionali d’Italia despite the fact that even today he has not undergone the vaccination for Covid-19. The undersecretary for Sport, Valentina Vezzali said: “As far as tennis is concerned, there is no reinforced Green Pass, so if Djokovic wants to come and play the Internazionali in Rome, he can do it”.

The Masters 1000 of the Foro Italico is scheduled from 2 to 15 May and in Italy the state of emergency is expected to end on 31 March. The requirements to participate in the tournament, between now and May, could therefore change. Much will depend on the trend of infections which in recent years has always improved with the summer. The number 1 in the world, who won five titles at the Internationals, said he is also willing to risk his career by skipping the Grand Slams, but he has no plans to get vaccinated: “If this is the price to pay for having the freedom to choose what to put in my body then I’ll pay for it. “
