Speaking to reporters after defeating Matteo Berrettini in the Grand Slam, Djokovic said the lack of spectators as well as strict Covid-19 restrictions affect whether he will compete in Tokyo.
“My plan was always to go to the Olympics, but now I’m a little divided,” said Djokovic. “It’s kind of a 50-50 because of what I’ve heard in the past few days.”
Djokovic added on not letting in viewers: “Yeah, that’s not great news. That was really disappointing to hear that.
“I also heard that there will be a lot of restrictions inside [Athletes’] village. It is likely that you will not be able to see other athletes perform live.
“I can’t even get a Stringer which is a very important part of my team. I’m limited by the number of people I can fit into my team as well.”
