Novak Djokovic missed the Australian Open in January due to his decision not to vaccinate against covid-19 and the Australian government also revoked the former world setter's visa.

Djokovic has previously also stated that he will be over tournaments if he is forced to get vaccinated.

Novak Djokovic has won Wimbledon six times, most recently last year.
