A coronavirus vaccine for all tennis players to allow the resumption of major circuit tournaments after the coronavirus crisis? What vaccine, you tell us. And even if we did find one, Novak Djokovic is not too fan of this idea launched by Amélie Mauresmo, who estimated last month that tennis tournaments could not resume without the development of a vaccine against the Covid-19: "No vaccine = no tennis," she tweeted.

“I am the first in uncertainty. How to do with travel? Personally, I am not for vaccines. I wouldn't want someone to force me to get vaccinated to travel, ”said Nole. "If this will be the rule, the law, what will happen? I would then have to decide if I will submit to that or not. For the moment, I am of that opinion. I don't know if it will change, "admitted Djokovic, who was speaking from Spain where he got stuck with his family at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Tournaments with limited trips

"But what vaccine, if it doesn't even exist yet?" "He asked himself. The Serb, winner of the Australian Open at the beginning of the year, also estimated that the tournaments could not resume "before September, October", even if world tennis is officially stopped until mid -July at least.

"The season will officially resume when everyone is 100% sure that people can come, that there is no risk, that people are resistant to the virus, and it will take time", a- he says. According to him, tournaments may be contested between now and then with limited trips within a country or region.
