Novak Djokovic, number 1 in the world, has signed up for the ATP 500 tournament in Dubai, scheduled for the last week of February, according to the media in the United Arab Emirates.
Djokovic left Melbourne for Belgrade, where he arrived via Dubai on January 17 after being expelled from Australia, the culmination of a long controversy over his vaccination status that deprived him of the opportunity to play the Australian Open.
Vaccination is not mandatory for entry to the UAE, where 100% of residents have received at least one dose of the vaccine.
Djokovic, who has won the Dubai tournament five times, is not vaccinated against Covid.
