Novak Djokovic
is back in Serbia, having lost his Australian visa battle over his unvaccinated status.
Now there are questions about whether he'll be able to make it to the next Grand Slam in the calendar - the French Open, which starts in May.
As things stand, he would be stopped from playing in France, the Reuters news agency is reporting, because of a new vaccine pass law.
"This will apply to everyone who is a spectator or a professional sportsperson," the French sports ministry says in a statement.
It adds, however, that the pandemic situation could change by May: "We'll see, but clearly there's no exemption."
The AFP agency is reporting along similar lines, saying all tennis players who want to compete in France will need to be jabbed.
So, is Djokovic out, before his next chance of a 21st Grand Slam record?
