Novak Djokovic looks set to miss out on the Indian Wells Masters for the fourth successive year.
Late last month reports suggested the unjabbed Serbian had hoped to secure a Covid vaccine exemption. But with the chances of that reportedly fading away, the world No.1 now appears ready to pull out of the first Masters 1000 event of the season before the draw is made.
“Whatever the decision is, if I'm not allowed, I'm going to pull out, of course, before the draw,” the 35-year-old said. “Let's see what the answer is, then I'll take it from there. I'll focus right now on the tournament here in Dubai, then we'll see what's next.”
