Participation by Novak Djokovic at the Australian Open of the tennis professionals in Melbourne (17 to 30 January) continues in the stars. Tournament director Craig Tiles, however, said on Sunday, he expects a clear picture in the coming days. In the past week, Djokovic had canceled his participation in the ATP Cup in Sydney without giving reasons.
All participants in the Australian Open must be vaccinated or submit a medical exception. It is unclear whether the world ranking Djokovic, who has consistently denied a statement to his vaccination status so far, has requested them with an independent expert body.
Tiles pointed out that the time for the 20-fold Grand Slam winner and record winner in Melbourne will now be scarce. Until the end of this week, there are a few charter flights, and then all players will be here, he said to the TV station nine and stressed: Until then, he also awaits clarity to Djokovic.
As far as the status of Novak is concerned, I think we will have a much clearer picture in the coming days, otherwise it will be quite late to appear and play the Australian Open, said Tiles and added: There are still there To do a lot, and I think it will happen in the coming days.
