(ANSA) – ROME, FEBRUARY 19 – After Australia’s no to participation in the Melbourne tournament, because he was not vaccinated against Covid-19, Novak Djokovic returns to the main draw of the ATP 500 tennis tournament, in Dubai (21- February 26). The Serbian, in his qualifying round, will meet the Italian Lorenzo Musetti, who has had a ‘wild card’, together with the British Andy Murray and the Tunisian Malek Jaziri. The debut of the n.1 in the world in 2022 will take place against the player who made him suffer for two sets in the second round of Roland Garros eight months ago. Musetti really gave Djokovic a hard time, winning two tie-breaks, then the Serbian emerged and it was night for the blue. Djokovic in the Emirates wants to defend his leader in the ATP ranking which he will lose anyway if the Russian rival Daniil Medvedev wins the tournament in Acapulco, Mexico. The other blue in the running in Dubai will be Jannik Sinner, who will make his debut against the Spanish Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. (HANDLE).
