Brown indicated that if a player remains to be unvaccinated, he/she should be fine with the consequences of not attending a tournament where vaccination rules are enforced.
“If I Decide, I Dont ,, Want” To Take It(For Whatever Reason), Then I Have To Live With The Consequence Of Not Being Able To Enter A Country, If They Have A Rule That Says U Have To Be Vaccinated. (No Matter If I Feel This Is Right Or Wrong…)”.

Going forward, it’s highly likely that more countries will have the same rules and it all depends on the player’s decision to play that particular event. Coming to Djokovic, according to the latest reports, the Serbian star and his team of lawyers are currently in the process of appealing against the visa rejection.
