After several weeks of uncertainty,
Novak Djokovic will
finally be able to contest the Australian Open thanks to a medical exemption.
The Serbian tennis player, who
had refused to reveal if he is vaccinated against Covid-19
, sets course on Tuesday towards the first big of the season, which starts on January 17 in Melbourne.
With a post on Instagram, the one from Belgrade puts an end to all the rumors.
The number one in the world has always been against the obligation to be vaccinated to compete, although this is one of the entry requirements in Australia and he has not confirmed whether or not he meets it.
In fact, he
gave up competing in the ATP Cup that takes place in Sydney with his country
.

The Australian Open is his favorite tournament, as it was in Melbourne that the 35-year-old Serbian won his first Grand Slam title (2008), and no one has won it as many times as he has (nine wins).
But for months, he had been wondering whether he would defend the title due to the requirements to enter the country.
However,
the director of the Australian Open, Craig Tiley, revealed that some players who were not vaccinated had received medical exemptions
as has been the case of the nine-time champion at Melbourne Park.
"Happy New Year! I wish you health, love and joy in every moment and that you feel love and respect towards all the beings of this wonderful planet. I had a fantastic quality time with my loved ones during the holidays and today I am heading to Australia with an exemption permit. Let's go 2022! ", confirmed Djokovic on his social networks.
