Belinda Bencic is vaccinated against the corona virus and will be able to take part in the Australian Open.
Green light for the Olympic champion: As Belinda Bencic confirmed to CH Media, she has now been vaccinated against the corona virus. Immediately after her last serious fight four weeks ago this year, the 24-year-old from Eastern Switzerland received the vaccine from Johnson & Johnson, of which only one dose is required. At the Billie Jean King Cup in Prague, Bencic reached the final with the Swiss team.
For the first Grand Slam tournament of the year in Melbourne in January, only vaccinated tennis players will be allowed to enter Australia. It remains unclear whether world number one Novak Djokovic will also be there. After the semi-final with Serbia at the Davis Cup on Friday evening, he left his participation in the Australian Open open.
He will now switch off for a few days and not think about tennis, said the 34-year-old in Madrid. The decision whether he will compete in Melbourne is imminent. “I will comment on it soon,” promised Djokovic.
