<p>A push is growing for all players to be vaccinated when tennis starts again, provided a vaccination is produced by then.</p>
<p>Former world No.1 Amelie Mauresmo last month said tennis should not resume unless players can be vaccinated, although the scientific community has repeatedly said that may be a year away, if a vaccine is developed at all.</p>
<p><em>“Personally I am opposed to vaccination and I wouldn’t want to be forced by someone to take a vaccine in order to be able to travel,”</em> Djokovic said in a live Facebook chat with several fellow Serbian athletes on Sunday.</p>
<p><em>“But if it becomes compulsory, what will happen? I will have to make a decision.</em></p>
<p><em>“I have my own thoughts about the matter and whether those thoughts will change at some point, I don’t know.</em></p>
<p><em>“Hypothetically, if the season was to resume in July, August or September, though unlikely, I understand that a vaccine will become a requirement straight after we are out of strict quarantine and there is no vaccine yet.”</em></p>
<p>Dual grand slam winner Mauresmo last month tweeted: <em>“International circuit = players of all nationalities plus management, spectators and people from the four corners of the world who bring these events to life. No vaccine = no tennis.”</em></p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="fr" dir="ltr">Je crois qu’on va devoir tirer un trait sur la saison 2020 de tennis. Circuit international = des joueurs et joueuses de toutes nationalités plus les encadrements, spectateurs et les personnes venant des 4 coins du monde qui font vivre ces événements.<br />Pas de vaccin=pas de tennis</p>

<p>The tennis world has been thrown into disarray due to the Covid-19 outbreak.</p>
<p>Governing bodies having suspended all tournaments until July 13, so far.</p>
<p>Wimbledon has been cancelled for the first time since World War II, and the French Open has been put back four months until late September.</p>
