Novak Djokovic is welcomed at the French Open

While Djokovic still awaits clearance to play in the Australian Open, the French sports minister has already opened his doors to welcome him at the French Open. During an interview with ESPN, he said:

“He would not follow the same organisational arrangements as those who are vaccinated. But he will nonetheless be able to compete [at Roland Garros] because the protocols, the health bubble, allows it.”

The tournament is still roughly five months away and it has been made clear that they will allow all unvaccinated players to participate. This decision has caused a massive backlash as well. Because there are many restrictions for unvaccinated individuals in France and the rules seem to have been bent for athletes.
