Novak Djokovic deprived of US Open 2022 by the US authorities? “A joke” for John McEnroe

Two days before the US Open draw, Novak Djokovic acts as if. Does he really believe it? Hardly, no doubt. But the Serbian, crowned at Wimbledon, has still not announced a possible withdrawal. However, it would take a miracle to see him on the courts of Flushing: that the local authorities relax their health rules and authorize him to land in the United States without going through the vaccine box. As much to say it immediately, it will very probably not happen and the tournament poster was also unveiled without the Serb appearing on it.
For John McEnroe, Eurosport consultant, this is not far from heresy. The New Yorker is struggling to accept that Novak Djokovic is not allowed to participate in the fourth round of the Grand Slam, after having already had to turn back to Australia in January.

“I don’t think it’s fair. I think it’s a joke. (…) I would have been vaccinated and I would have gone to play, but he has very strong convictions and you have to respect them. At this stage of the pandemic, we’re two and a half years into it, I think people in all parts of the world know a lot more. The idea that he can’t travel this far is a joke.”supports the former player with 7 major titles.

For Big Mac, missing the US Open after missing the last Australian meeting could have psychological consequences in his hunt for the Grand Slam record and in the frantic race for the honorary title of GOAT, even if Novak Djokovic still has energy to spare.

mentally strained

“He’s a year younger (that Nadal), it seems that his body is still in good condition. Who’s to say he can’t go on for a few more years? Let’s say he wins another three or four. It is not impossible, far from it. He can still reach 25 Grand Slam titles.Judge Big Mac.

There remains the psychological question. Because these last few months have necessarily been trying in the head: “It must be mentally draining on you. Training for the last six weeks without knowing if you’re going to play, it must be mentally taxing on you, like it was when he was kicked out of Australia. I think it took him three or four months to get his mind back together.”
