Djokovic celebrates comeback in February

The unvaccinated tennis star was not allowed to participate in the Australian Open and had to leave the country. Now the Serb is on the entry list for a tournament in a country where no vaccination is required for entry.

After his noisy expulsion from Australia, tennis star Novak Djokovic is targeting his comeback in February at the ATP tournament in Dubai. The world number one from Serbia has entered the 500-over tournament in the desert (21-26 February), which he has won five times. In Dubai, a Corona vaccination is not mandatory for entry.

Djokovic had missed the Australian Open, which is currently underway, after losing in a federal court. The judges had rejected the world number one’s appeal against the cancellation of his visa. The 20-time Grand Slam winner had entered the country unvaccinated and with a medical exemption.

What Djokovic’s season plans will look like after the tournament in Dubai is still completely open. A Corona vaccination is a prerequisite for travel to the Masters tournaments in Indian Wells and Miami.
