Novak Djokovic’s withdrawal from the US Open was confirmed, although it is not a surprise, since the tennis player himself raised the possibility of not being able to play the last big game of the year, after winning the 2022 edition of Wimbledon, the Serbian declared that since he was not vaccinated against covid-19 he would not be able to enter the United States and therefore he would miss the contest, he also reiterated that he does not intend to be vaccinated either.
The organizers of the tournament that begins in August made it clear that to date there is no resolution or measure that allows Nole’s presence in the contest, since they are governed by the rules imposed by the United States government, which require the complete vaccination schedule for all foreigners who wish to enter the country without exception.
Novak Dojkovic has remained firm in his position of not vaccinating against covid-19, as it was known at the beginning of the year, the Serbian tennis player was unable to defend his title at the Australian Open, the first Grand Slam of the season, precisely because The athlete was not vaccinated and did not have a special visa to enter the oceanic country, which caused a stir and subsequent expulsion of Nole from Australian territory.
For this reason, the recent winner of the 2022 edition of Wimbledon anticipated any situation, after finishing the London tournament he said: “I hope to have good news from the United States. If I can’t play the US Open I have to see what I do. It could be the Davis Cup, the Laver Cup. I am not going to play tournaments to play them or to score points. I am not vaccinated nor do I intend to be vaccinated. Asking for a medical exemption is not realistic”, those were Nole’s words on July 10 , since then and to date nothing has changed, you can not enter the country of Uncle Sam.
Not being able to score points for this tournament, it is likely that Nole will continue to drop in the ATP ranking, he currently occupies the seventh position since he did not defend points in Australia, he lost in the quarterfinals of Roland Garros so he could not defend the title and therefore the points, while this year’s edition of Wimbledon did not award points, therefore the Serbian descended from the podium in the men’s circuit.
The Serbian tennis player, who ceased to be number 1 in the ATP ranking this 2022, has won the US Open 3 times, currently appears among those registered for said tournament, however, this is a simple formality of the organizers, who they included him in the list of participants, but unfortunately he will not be able to be present. @worldwide
