The Novak Djokovic Australian Open vaccine drama just took yet another twist. With Djokovic currently being held in detainment because of the Australian government's issue with his vaccine status, the sports minister of France made a stunning French Open declaration, per Bleacher Report.

According to Bleacher Report, France sports minister Roxane Maracineanu announced that Novak Djokovic will be allowed to play in the French Open regardless of vaccine status. This is a stunning announcement, especially given how things have played out for Djokovic ahead of the Australian Open.

France's sports minister referenced the International Tennis Federation's protocols for major events, which technically would allow unvaccinated players like Djokovic to participate in the French Open given the country's COVID policies.

Per Sports Illustrated, Maracineanu said that Djokovic would “not follow the same organizational arrangements” as vaccinated players, though he firmly said that the Serbian star would be allowed to participate in the French Open regardless of vaccine status, a stark contrast from the stance of the Australian government ahead of the Australian Open.

It's currently unclear how Djokovic's French Open experience would differ from other players. It's also unclear how the Novak Djokovic Australian Open drama will play out, though it's shocking to hear another country take such a different approach amid the chaos.
