Tennis: Djokovic would need to have coronavirus vaccine to play on ATP Tour – Nadal

Rafael Nadal has insisted Novak Djokovic would need to have a Covid-19 vaccination if he is to play on ATP Tour whenever tennis resumes. Nadal in conversation with Spanish media said, "everyone is free to do what they like, but if you belong to the Tour, one has to comply with the rules of that governing body. If the Tour makes it compulsory to be vaccinated to be able to travel, it is to protect everyone.” World number two added with conviction, Djokovic will have to be vaccinated if he wants to continue playing at the highest level. Everyone, me too. Everyone will have to comply. If the ATP or the ITF force us to use a vaccine to play tennis, then we will have to get it.” In April, world number one Djokovic had said that he is against to taking a compulsory coronavirus vaccine as he “wouldn't want to be forced by someone to take a vaccine in order to be able to travel.”
