While not being immunized against COVID-19, Novak Djokovic will be permitted to defend his Wimbledon championship since the injections are not necessary to enter Britain, according to All England Club chief executive Sally Bolton. Djokovic, a 34-year-old Serb who is ranked No. 1 in the world, skipped the Australian Open in January after being deported because he was not vaccinated against the coronavirus, which has killed millions of people since the epidemic began in 2020.
“Whilst, of course, it is advised” that all players be vaccinated, it will not be a requirement of the entrance to compete at the grass-court Grand Slam tournament this year”, Bolton said during the annual spring conference before Wimbledon, which begins on June 27.
