After being unceremoniously deported from Australia, Novak Djokovic might soon find himself unwelcome in France.
Yesterday, a new law in France was passed requiring individuals to present vaccine certificates to gain entry into public facilities. This would include Roland Garros which hosts the French Open in May.
Of course, it is possible conditions could change for the better and this provision might be suspended. There is also one other thing to consider. The French presidential election is in April. Should Emmanuel Macron be defeated by a conservative rival, the new law could be rescinded and Djokovic could be allowed to play without incident.
Djokovic is vying for a men's record 21st Grand Slam breaking the tie he shares with Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. Of course, Djokovic could make life simple for himself and everyone else around him by getting vaccinated. But given what happened in Australia, it does not appear Djokovic wants to do things simply much less reasonably.
