Discuss his vaccination status after the win WimbledonDjokovic said: “I am not vaccinated and do not intend to be vaccinated, so the only good news I can have is that they require the mandatory green vaccination card or whatever you call it to enter the United States, or an exemption , which I’m hoping to wait for, removes some good news from the US, because that’s where I’d love to go. If that doesn’t happen then I’ll have to see what the schedule looks like.“
