Rome (AP) – According to the organizers, world number one Novak Djokovic can also start without vaccination against the corona virus at the Masters 1000 tournament in Rome from May 8th to 15th, said the President of the Italian Tennis Association, Angelo Binaghi.
Djokovic has won the tournament five times. Last year, the Serb was in the final, which he lost to Spaniard Rafael Nadal. The 34-year-old Djokovic was unable to defend his title at the Australian Open at the beginning of the season because he was expelled from the country. He was also not admitted to the American tournaments in Indian Wells and Miami because of the lack of vaccination.
