Twenty-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic has had a tough year so far but he's finally had some good news.
With the French Open organisers announcing relaxed rules for the participation of unvaccinated players in the tournament, Djokovic is set to defend his Roland Garros crown in the summer.
"As things stand, nothing stands in the way of Djokovic taking part in the French Open," tournament director Amelie Mauresmo told reporters during a press conference on Wednesday.
Unlike the United States, where a foreign national needs a double dose of vaccination to enter the nation, France has not set any requirements for unvaccinated individuals.
In contrast, on Monday, the French government lifted a majority of COVID restrictions in the country except hospitals, and public transport including the metro, which means the clay Slam would be allowed to have full capacity crowds in attendance.
The French Open is set to start in Paris on 22 May.
