Novak Djokovic could be barred from French Open as France pass new vaccine law

Will the vaccine drama affect Novak Djokovic's legacy?

Patrick McEnroe says Novak Djokovic is damaging his legacy with his visa issues. The song is called "2:07."

The Sports Ministry said on Monday that there would be no exemption from France's new vaccine pass law, which could mean that Novak would not be allowed to play in the French Open.

The world's top ranked player was deported from Australia on Sunday before the first Grand Slam tournament of the year after losing a court case to have his visa revoked.

France's vaccine pass law, which was approved by parliament on Sunday, will require people to have a certificate of vaccine to enter public places.

The rule is easy to understand. The vaccine pass will be imposed in establishments that were already subject to the health pass.

Everyone who is a spectator or a professional sportsperson will be affected by this. This will continue until further notice.

It's in May, as far as Garros is concerned. We hope that the situation will be better between now and then. Clearly there's no exemption.

The Serbian was banned from the Australian Open after testing positive for the coronaviruses, but he still attended public events.
