The Tennis Association of the United States (USTA) and the US Open They supported the participation of Serbian Novak Djokovic, who cannot enter the United States because he is not vaccinated against COVID-19, in this month’s tournaments in Indian Wells and Miami.
The Serb, winner of 22 Grand Slam singles titles, requested special permission to enter the country and play the Indian Wells, which starts next week, and the Miami tournament; However, no response has yet been received to the request.
He US Open from his official Twitter account, he said.
Novak Djokovic is one of the greatest champions our sport has ever known. The USTA and US Open hope Novak’s attempt to break into the country is successful and fans can see him in action again in Indian Wells and Miami.
Djokovic’s non-vaccination caused him to miss both the 2022 Australian Open, which resulted in his expulsion from the country, and last year’s US Open. With the COVID-19 vaccine no longer required to enter Australia, Djokovic successfully defied a three-year visa ban and was able to compete at the Australian Open in January, beating Greece’s Stefanos Tsitsipas in the final.
Last week, the 35-year-old explained in a press conference that he was “waiting for an answer” about his presence in Indian Wells and Miami.
I’m waiting for an answer, it’s not up to me. I’ll know soon. Everything is in progress. I am grateful to the tournament in Indian Wells, Miami and the communities for their public support.
It closed later.
They want you to participate in their tournaments. I’m very grateful for that, because I really want to be there, I haven’t played there for a few years. I hope there will be a positive decision soon, but that is not in my hands.
