The Madrid Open is one of the most prestigious tennis tournaments in the world, attracting fans and players from around the globe. With the 2021 edition just around the corner, there is much speculation about which top players will be taking part.

One name that is on everyone’s lips is Novak Djokovic. The question on everyone’s mind is, “Is Djokovic playing Madrid Open?”

Novak Djokovic’s Current Form
At the time of writing this article, Novak Djokovic is currently ranked as the world number one tennis player and has been in excellent form this season. He has won several tournaments and has been dominating his opponents with ease. However, despite his impressive run of form, there have been some doubts about whether he will participate in the Madrid Open.

The Schedule Clash
One of the reasons for these doubts is that there is a scheduling clash between two major tournaments – The Madrid Open and The Belgrade Open. Djokovic was originally scheduled to play at Belgrade but after Rafael Nadal pulled out of Madrid Open due to COVID-19 concerns, rumors started circulating that Novak could switch to Madrid.

  • On April 23rd Djokovic announced he will play at Belgrade.

COVID-19 Concerns
Another factor that could impact Djokovic’s participation in Madrid Open is COVID-19. Although Spain has relaxed its entry restrictions for vaccinated travelers from non-EU countries such as Serbia, there are still concerns about travel during COVID times.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, it remains unclear whether Novak Djokovic will be playing at the Madrid Open this year or not. While there have been rumors about a possible switch from Belgrade to Madrid, as of now it seems unlikely.

Nevertheless, fans around the world will be eagerly waiting for the official announcement from Djokovic and his team. Stay tuned for more updates!
