Djokovic back in the United States? According to information from the Serbian news agency Tanjug, the Serbian player sent the necessary documents on Friday February 10 to participate in the Masters 1000 in Indian Wells (March 9-19) and Miami (March 19-April 2) , in the USA. Due to his incomplete vaccination schedule, the recent Australian Open winner is still barred from traveling to the country, whose government plans to lift travel restrictions from May.
“Unfortunately, this is something that is beyond our control, told Tanjug Djordje Djokovic, the brother of the tennis player. Novak has to get special permission to enter, knowing that the United States still won’t let unvaccinated foreigners into the country, which is incredible, and knowing that we’ve seen major sporting events with unvaccinated athletes in the whole world. »
Tommy Haas hopes for his presence
At the Australian Open, Indian Wells Master 1000 director Tommy Haas was hoping for the participation of five-time tournament winner Novak Djokovic. “It would be nice to see if we could maybe raise [cesrestrictions] earlier and bring him in to play in Indian Wells and Miami. I think he wants to play, so we should give him the chance. Hopefully we can get it there. I mean, it would be a shame in my eyes if he didn’t come to these events, or if he wasn’t allowed to come. »
