Novak Djokovic Could Miss Out On Defending French Open Title Due To France’s New Vaccine Law
The world’s number one men’s tennis player was barred from defending his 2021 Australian Open title due to being unvaccinated, and there’s a chance he will not be allowed to defend his 2021 French Open championship as well.
On Sunday, Novak Djokovic lost his appeal to remain in Australia after his visa was canceled a second time on Friday due to his decision to remain unvaccinated. He was deported from the country later in the day.
Also on Sunday, France approved a vaccine pass law which will require proof of vaccination in order to enter public places. This includes Roland Garros, home of the French Open.
“The rule is simple. The vaccine pass will be imposed, as soon as the law is promulgated, in establishments that were already subject to the health pass,” the French Sports Ministry said according to Reuters. – READ MORE
