Wimbledon won't have vaccine requirement, allowing Djokovic to play

• He will also likely be able to play in the French Open in May. French officials announced last month that the country would no longer require travelers to be vaccinated.
• The world No. 1 had to sit out of two prominent U.S. tournaments, Indian Wells and the Miami Open, earlier this year because the U.S. requires foreign travelers to show proof of vaccination.
• It's unclear if Djokovic will be able to play in the U.S. Open after tournament officials said they would follow the government rules in place.

The big picture: Djokovic has won 20 grand slams, including six at Wimbledon. That is second-most for a men's player, trailing only Rafael Nadal.

What they're saying: "Whilst of course [vaccination] is encouraged, it will not be a condition of entry to compete at the championship this year," All England Club chief executive Sally Bolton said at a press conference on Tuesday.
