Novak Djokovic, who won his 21st Grand Slam this Sundaynot knowing when he will try to chase Rafa Nadal, head of the historical classification with 22 ‘greats’.
The Serb left London with the confidence to be restored, to his first Grand Slam in a year, but who doesn’t know what his next stop is, because he can’t play in New York because he hasn’t been vaccinated or in Melbournesince his visa was withdrawn this year.
The most immediate will happen in August in the United States. U.S. law states that those who have not been vaccinated are prohibited from entering the countryso, until now, Djokovic has not been able to play in the final ‘major’ of the year.
The Serbian will have to stick to the change in regulations before next August 29 – the date on which the tournament will begin – or he will not be able to find his fourth title in New York city.
Another option left to him was to get vaccinated, but that was impossible. When questioned at the start of the tournament, Djokovic confirmed that he was clear in his decision not to do so.
For Melbourne, the mess is different. Australia already allows the entry of unvaccinated people, but Djokovic, on deportation in January, had his passport revoked and this could mean a three -year ban on entry into the country.. This way, Djokovic will have to wait until the 2024 edition to qualify for his tenth title at Rod Laver Arena.
If you can’t play two tournaments, the next stop on his journey against Nadal and Federer was Roland Garros 2023certainly the ‘great’ who has won the fewest times in his career, with just two wounds, in 2016 and 2021.
