Australia will probably require all athletes who want to play the Australian Open 2022 to be vaccinated against COVID-19. This was concluded based on Tuesday’s statement of Victoria Premier Daniel Andrews, while Tennis Australia declined to comment.
“I don’t think an unvaccinated tennis player is going to get a visa to come into this country and if they did get a visa they’d probably have to quarantine for a couple of weeks,” warned the leader of the Australian state in which the Grand Slam is held.
The biggest controversy regarding this issue is whether nine-time champion Novak Djokovic will be defending his title at the Australian Open 2022.
