This is the news of the day on the men’s circuit. After days and weeks of negotiations with the governing bodies, Novak Djokovic finally decided to go to the United States and thus participate in the New York mini-tour. The Serb will therefore play the Cincinnati tournament and the US Open which will both take place at the site of Flushing Meadows, in New York.
This was obviously expected since the announcement of the cancellation of the quarantine for players who will return from the American continent to Europe, and it is now confirmed by the player himself on Instagram : “I am happy to confirm that I will be competing in the Cincinnati tournament and the US Open this year. It was not an easy decision to make with all the circumstances and difficulties but the prospect of playing again really excites me. See you soon New-York », contented himself with writing Djokovic on the social network.
In the absence of his two great rivals (injured Federer and Nadal for personal choice), the world number 1 has a golden opportunity to win an 18th Grand Slam title. See you on August 31st.
