In a recent interview with Sputnik, Nebojsa Jovanovic, director of a sports management company in the United States, called on US Open organizers to do more to help Novak Djokovic.
Jovanovic explained: “I don’t understand why the organizers of the US Open haven’t yet written a letter to convince the government to let Novak Djokovic in. They just said that they would respect the current regulations regarding entry. strangers.
If Roger Federer or Rafael Nadal had a similar problem, I’m sure they would have done everything to solve it. Did they respond to my letter? Yes, they thanked me and said they would consider my request”
A few days ago, Francisco Cerundolo brandished a spear in favor of Novak: “He has been presented several times as the villain of the circuit, but it is absolutely not true.
Djokovic is an authentic and sincere person, who is not afraid to express his opinions. The problem is that people are so in love with Federer and Nadal that they can’t really like him.”
Djokovic and the question of the US Open
By triumphing at Wimbledon for the seventh time in his career, Novak Djokovic relaunched a season that was in danger of going bankrupt. The Serbian champion faced many difficulties in the first part of 2022, having paid dearly for his choice not to be vaccinated against Coronavirus.
The former world number 1 was expelled from Australia earlier this year, in addition to suffering serious damage to his image. For the same reason, the 21-time Grand Slam champion also had to give up the Masters 1000 in Indian Wells and Miami in the spring.
The 35-year-old Belgrader’s participation in the 2022 US Open remains highly unlikely as the US government appears unwilling to change the rules regarding the entry of foreigners.
Nole has returned to training after taking a short vacation, but he has already made it known that he will not be playing small tournaments to chase points.
