Can Nadal’s decision speed up Djokovic’s inoculation plans : NOVAK DJOKOVIC could make a crucial decision in the coming weeks. With a well-known anti-vaccine stance, if the Australian Open , a tournament in which he is the top winner with nine crowns, requires that all players be inoculated, then the Serb will have to determine whether or not he decides to protect himself against the covid.
In the last hours, in addition, there was other news that could push him to accelerate that decision: Rafael Nadal announced that he will return to the courts , after his foot injury, at the Abu Dhabi exhibition, in mid-December, to aim for sold out at the Australian Open in January 2022.
In Melbourne, in effect, the tiebreaker in the Grand Slams record shared by Nadal, Roger Federer and Djokovic himself – all three have 20 major titles – will be put into play . That’s why Australian legendary Todd Woodbridge, winner of 16 Grand Slams in doubles and Wimbledon semifinalist in singles, argued that Rafa’s return could push Djokovic to get vaccinated.
“Nadal’s decision poses a challenge for Djokovic: If Rafa wins, will he take 21st and take the lead? Will Djokovic allow it? I believe that it will not be like that and that, for that reason, at some point they will have to make a decision ” , he explained.
And he hesitated: “Djokovic’s position casts doubt on what he will do but it is nothing more than putting pressure on himself. We will have to see what he decides to do about it. “
