Novak Djokovic is in a tricky position this season especially if he continues to avoid getting vaccinated which is becoming a predominant requirement at many events.
The Serbian has not yet publicly spoken about the issue but many have pointed out that the Serbian will face issues travelling to different countries and taking part in events without getting vaccinated. Some, who know Djokovic, have come out in the meantime claiming that the Serbian will get eventually vaccinated which would make his life much easier.
The coach of Rafael Nadal, Carlos Moya was asked about it and he admitted that it's an uncertain position to be in:
"I don't think Rafa's victory has changed anything in his position. What is clear is that if he doesn't get vaccinated he will be ruled out of the battle he has been fighting for so long. I think it will be very difficult to play Grand Slam tournaments if he doesn't get vaccinated and his career would be in serious danger."
Moya further believes that Djokovic means no harm and he doesn't believe he is anti-vaccination but rather is very opposed to the notion of no personal choice:
"I don't think he's anti-vaccine, but rather he has always defended the right to choose, but now he finds himself in a complicated situation."
It remains to be seen whether Djokovic will get vaccinated but if he does not he will face a lot of issues during the remainder of the year.
