uncertainty is over by Novak Djokovic participation is growing day by day. As of now, Djokovic is not allowed to enter the US due to his vaccination status and therefore cannot compete in the US Open. The US government has decided not to grant any special exemptions, and rightly so, the only way for Djokovic to enter the country is to get vaccinated.
But the 21-time grand slam champion has made it clear over and over again that he will not be vaccinated, citing personal reasons and his freedom to choose what goes into his body. Naturally, his actions had consequences and he was expelled from Australia earlier this year and was not allowed to play at the Australian Open.
A similar situation is occurring this time ahead of the US Open, but the USTA did not show any interest in providing any prospects for Djokovic. A glimmer of hope appeared a few days ago. HCM It has made changes to its vaccine policy, but is still under review and clear guidelines will be out in a few days. But time is running out as Djokovic’s name is still on the list, and the main draw will take place a few days later, on August 25.
After Alexander Zverev’s withdrawal, Djokovic became the 5th seed of the tournament, but will eventually be removed from the draw if the rules remain the same and there is no vaccine. To avoid damaging the draw, many on social media are urging Djokovic to withdraw before the draw because a rule change seems unlikely any time soon.
