The World No. 1 added he would be making no further comment until then as he does not want to be part of the story revolving around assumptions. There have been mixed messages over who will be allowed to play in the first Grand Slam of next year which runs from January 17-30 in Melbourne.
“I am going to decide on whether I go to Australia after I see an official statement from Tennis Australia,” Djokovic said. “There has been no official announcement or statement and until that is out I won’t be talking about this anymore. I do not want to be part of the stories about the assumptions and what ifs. When the official conditions and requirements to travel and play in Australia are out I will see what I personally do and also the bigger group of players as obviously, the situation is different in Australia to most parts of the world.”
