Since the pandemic began, there have been many restrictions placed on sporting competitions. As time has passed, many sports have begun their return to normalcy, but tennis mostly has not. It has had a great impact on many players, as there are certain things they have been prohibited from doing.

One of the biggest examples Is Novak Djokovic, who is ranked as the number one singles player in the world. He received an offer to play in a tournament in Australia, but he was later stopped from playing because he was not vaccinated against Covid-19. Australia had rule that required vaccinations, and so Novak Djokovic could not compete.

Some players are still confused on what protocol surrounding the virus should be, and many people think that Novak Djokovic will not be able to play in the U.S. Open because of his refusal of getting the vaccine.

For the past two years, sports have been harmed by the pandemic, and tennis is struggling to return to normalcy.
