When will Novak play next?

Despite the tough time that Novak suffered in Australia, he still remains adamant about not taking the vaccine. With Nadal winning his 21st Grand Slam Title in Australia, many thought Novak would get back at Rafa at the French Open in May. However, due to non-vaccination, Novak would have to probably skip both French Open and Wimbledon, unless there’s a rule change from the tournaments.

Meanwhile, Novak is ready to play his first tournament in 2022 in Dubai Tennis Championships, which will start on 21st February. The Serbian still remains the no.1 player in the world, even though he didn’t play in the Australian Open. No doubt, he would like to win the tournament in Dubai to remain at the top.
