Novak Djokovic and unvaccinated players to be allowed to compete at Wimbledon this summer This is not a prerequisite for participation in the third Grand Slam tournament of the year from June 27 to July 10, said Sally Bolton, Managing Director of All England Lawn Tennis Club (Aeltc), on Tuesday. Djokovic has won the title six times in Wimbledon so far, most recently he was successful last year.

Bolton emphasized that they would encourage professionals to vaccination. The British government would also no longer prescribe this for an entry. "We are planning to return to a normal tournament this year," said Bolton. "That is why we will not implement any of the COVID 19 measures of the past year in substantial form."

The 34 -year -old Djokovic was unable to defend his title at the Australian Open at the beginning of the season because he was expelled because of the lack of vaccination of the country. For this reason, too, he was not allowed at the US tournaments in Indian Wells and Miami. Djokovic had last lost in the final at his home tournament in Belgrade. There are also no Corona rules in the way of starting in Rome and the French Open.
