Novak Djokovic could be barred from playing in the French Open after the French Sports Ministry stated on Jan. 17 that there would be no exemption from France’s new vaccine pass law.
Ranked as the No. 1 men’s tennis player in the world, Djokovic, who hasn’t been vaccinated against COVID-19, was deported from Australia on Jan. 16 before the first Grand Slam tournament of the year after losing a court case to have the cancellation of his visa overturned.
