Nadal on Djokovic: If he can play at a Grand Slam without being vaccinated then he is welcome
Djokovic was prohibited from featuring in the recent Australian Open due to the country's harsh entry requirements.
Tennis star Rafa Nadal admits that he would be happy to see Novak Djokovic back at a Grand Slam but only if the host country's rules would allow the Serbian, given his decision not to be vaccinated against COVID-19.
Djokovic was prohibited from featuring in the recent Australian Open due to the country's harsh entry requirements.
"It will affect his legacy if he can play or not," Nadal said ahead of the Mexican Open. "I don't know if it will affect the Grand Slam.
"Everyone makes their own decisions and must live with them. In this sense, hopefully the pandemic improves in every way and there are no more deaths.
"Whether he is vaccinated or not, the good thing would be for Novak to play again. If Djokovic can play the Grand Slams without being vaccinated, he is welcome."
