Novak Djokovic will meet again in USA the same restrictions that prevented him from playing the Australian Opento last January. At this time, the unvaccinated cannot enter the country. As it happened in Australiait does not seem that an exemption will be made with the Serbian tennis player, 21 times champion of Grand Slam.
About this his coach has spoken, Goran Ivanesicwho was a spectator of place in the final of the ATP 250 de Umag that they disputed Jannik Sinner y Carlos Alcaraz. “Novak is going to do everything possible, perhaps with a special visa, but there are only two weeks to go. Personally, I have no hope. I don’t think Biden will change the rules before the tournament starts.“.
The Croatian also called it “nonsense” that “if you are vaccinated but you are positive you can enter the United States, but they ban you if you are not vaccinated and you are negative.”“. “There is too much politics in the world of sports,” added the champion of Wimbledon in 2001.

As of today, Novak Djokovic can’t dispute the Canadian Masters 1000 what to start in Montreal next August 8. In addition, the Serbian, predictably, will not be part of the Cincinnati Masters. All for the fact of not being allowed to enter United States and Canada not being vaccinated.
The Serbian will return to the courts in September to play with Serbia the group stage of the Davis Cup in Valencia.
