French Minister of Sports said that Novak Djokovic is welcome to play the French Open regardless of his Covid-19 vaccination status.
France does not bar unvaccinated people but has very tough restrictions on the ones that have had a shot.
French Minister, Roxane Maracineanu, said that International Tennis Federation protocols at major events meant unvaccinated player would be entitled to enter France and participate in Roland Garros.
Roland Garros begins in May.
This comes as a surprise after French President, Emmanuel Macron, this week said he wanted to “p—- off” the unvaccinated by making their lives difficult in order to get them to get the shot.
The President’s comments were met with uproar from the public and hose who fight for “pro choice”.
Djokovic was denied entry into Australia after he did not meet Australian Border requirements. He is detained in a government detention hotel awaiting deportation but he will appeal before he departs to his home country of Ukraine.
