What about the three other Slams

If Novak Djokovic remains unvaccinated, will he face similar challenges at the year’s other Grand Slam events?

Here is what to know about the policies in place for the other major tournaments and how Djokovic might be affected.

FRENCH OPEN

On January 7, French sports minister Roxane Maracineanu said Djokovic would be allowed to play at the French Open even if he were not vaccinated, because the country still allows unvaccinated visitors to enter, albeit with tougher restrictions.

Nonetheless, the French have become increasingly frustrated with people who will not get vaccinated, and President Emmanuel Macron said on January 4 that he wants to make daily life more inconvenient for unvaccinated residents.

This year’s French Open begins May 22. Djokovic is the defending champion and has won the tournament twice.

WIMBLEDON

If Djokovic wishes to play at Wimbledon unvaccinated, he must take a coronavirus test two days before travelling to the country, quarantine for 10 days and take more coronavirus tests on the second and eighth days of his quarantine. Those are the travel rules for foreign visitors set by the British Government.

Djokovic has six Wimbledon titles and won last year’s tournament. This year’s event starts on June 27.

US OPEN

Djokovic’s unvaccinated status could be problematic when it comes time for New York, a tournament he has won three times. Visitors to the United States must be fully vaccinated if not a US citizen, US national, lawful permanent resident or travelling to the United States on an immigrant visa.

There are exceptions to this rule, but most of them would not seem to apply to Djokovic.
