A drive is growing for all players to be vaccinated when tennis starts again after the coronavirus pandemic, provided vaccination is ready by then. Former world No.1 Amelie Mauresmo last month said tennis should not resume unless players can be vaccinated. "Personally I am opposed to vaccination and I wouldn't want to be forced by someone to take a vaccine in order to be able to travel," Djokovic said. Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal have yet to comment.
