The tournament itself announced the loss of Belgrade, at the crossroads due to his position since the last Australian Open, where he lived a nightmare until he was deported from the country without being able to play the first ‘Grand Slam’ of the season. “Even though I automatically appeared in the frames in Indian Wells and Miami I knew it would be unlikely that he would be able to travel. The CDC has confirmed that the regulations will not change. so I won’t be able to play in the United States. Good luck to all those who play in these great tournaments”, wrote ‘Nole’.
