Will he be traveling to Melbourne? Djoković already made a DECISION six months before the Australian Open!

Serbian tennis player Novak Djoković announced that he will travel to Melbourne to compete in his favorite tournament - the Australian Open ..

However, Nole is aware of the uncertainty surrounding entering the country, as he has not been vaccinated against COVID-19, which represents a barrier to enter the US.

-  If I don't have a permit, I won't travel to America. The saga in Australia was an unpleasant one for me - Djoković said and then added:

People still think that I tried to enter Australia by force, without papers, without exemption, that is not true. It was proven in court, I would never enter a country that I don't have permission to enter.

The Serb pointed out that he has a great desire to return to the smallest continent next year.

- I love Australia, I would like to return to the place where I recorded the best results at the Grand Slams. I hope to be there in January, I also want to go to New York and wherever I can play.

The Serbian tennis player reiterated that he has a clear position on vaccination and that he advocates freedom of opinion.

- I'm a professional tennis player, I don't get into politics because I'm not interested in it. I have my own opinion and I stand for the freedom to choose what is best for you. I expect people to at least respect my decision. If I have permission, I will play in tournaments. If not, I won't be there and it's not the end of the world - Djoković concluded.
