Djokovic OK for Wimbledon

The All England Club has confirmed that players who are not vaccinated against the coronavirus will be allowed to play atwimbledon this year, meaning six-time champion Novak Djokovic can defend his title from June 27. Djokovic missed this year’s Australian Open in January after having his visa cancelled by that country’s government, both because hewas not vaccinated and had expressed anti-vaccine sentiment. But vaccination against the coronavirus is not required to enter Britain and ‘‘will not be a condition of entry to compete’’ at Wimbledon, All England Club chief executive Sally Bolton said, adding that vaccinationwas merely ‘‘encouraged’’.
