Novak Djokovic acknowledged that he will not be able to compete in the Indian Wells or Miami tournaments, because he has not yet been vaccinated against the coronavirus and cannot travel to the United States.
The Serb, a 20-time Grand Slam champion, tweeted on Wednesday that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention “confirmed that they will not be changing the regulations.”
Therefore, “I will not be able to play in the United States,” he said.
Djokovic has so far been able to participate in only one 2022 tournament, given that he has not received a single COVID-19 vaccine. In January, he was deported from Australia, and was not allowed to attempt his title defense at Melbourne Park.
