Will Novak Djokovic face the same consequences when playing other tournaments of the grand slam in the USA, UK, and France? Presumably, he is not a citizen of any of these countries. So he does not have right of entry.

From what I heard in the news here in France, he should be fine for playing in France where so far sportsmen don't have to be vaccined, and it is not required either for a Visa.

  Do you not need to prove vaccination to enter France if you are not a French or EU citizen? Or is the exception only for athletes? Even if a visa is granted, authorities can revoke it at any time as highlighted in Australia.

    I entered France from Canada a month ago. They didn't check any documents other than my passport (pretty sure they didn't check it either, just flipped to an empty page and stamped it). Vaccination wasn't required. Negative PCR test wasn't required. The only requirement was a declaration that I didn't knowingly have COVID or any symptoms (which they never checked).

      That varies depending on where you're coming from and where have you been recently (and it changes based on how the situation evolves per country). I'm triple vaccinated and i still need a negative PCR to return to France from abroad. It's entirely possible a negative PCR will be required for him. Edit: i checked, and Serbia is in the "orange" zone for France, for which a negative PCR is required regardless of vaccination status: https://rs.ambafrance.org/COVID-19-dernieres-informations-et-FAQ https://rs.ambafrance.org/COVID-19-dernieres-informations-et... https://www.diplomatie.gouv.fr/fr/conseils-aux-voyageurs/informations-pratiques/article/coronavirus-covid-19 https://www.diplomatie.gouv.fr/fr/conseils-aux-voyageurs/inf...

There’s no vaccination requirement for entering the UK.

  Really? Would you happen to have any relevant link? Was this a recent change or has this always been the case?

    The UK has never required a vaccine to enter. The only difference is that non-vaccinated individuals need to quarantine on arrival.

      Thanks for the clarification. At the very least, the requirement for Djokovic to quarantine might mess with the timing. He might not be able to train right after arriving.

        Present UK regs you can get out on day 5 if you do 'test to release.' Before that you are supposed to isolate at home. Though if he rented a home with a tennis court...

If he submits visa documents that are incomplete or incorrect, yes. He may also face issues where he violated quarantines after he knew he was positive. Maybe not the interview on the 17th but anything after. I don't care if he is vaccinated or not, that is his choice but I have a huge problem with the elites thinking the rules don't apply to them. There are several high profile bankers here in Switzerland one of which was specifically praised to change the toxic culture at Credit Suisse. Yet he violated quarantine multiple times like the rules don't apply to him because it's inconvenient. How is it not inconvenient for someone making barely nothing and can't work from home. This whole pandemic has shown people that the elites play by other rules. It is time to end this.
