He also was the runner-up there a half-dozen times, including last season, when his pursuit of the first calendar-year Grand Slam in men’s tennis since 1969 ended with a loss in the final to Daniil Medvedev.
The U.S. Tennis Association has said all along it will follow government rules about vaccination status for this year’s Open. There is no vaccine mandate at the tournament for players or their support teams — meaning that an unvaccinated American would be allowed to compete — and spectators will not be required to wear masks.
Djokovic missed the Australian Open in January after a protracted legal saga ended with his deportation from that country because he isn’t vaccinated against COVID-19. He also sat out four significant tournaments in North America in 2022, including in Montreal and Cincinnati recently.Article content After beating Nick Kyrgios in the Wimbledon final on July 10, Djokovic said he “would love” to participate in the last Grand Slam tournament of the year at Flushing Meadows, but he also acknowledged, “I’m not planning to get vaccinated.”
How much longer will the vaccine segregation go on?
F*cking Trudeau’s fault
Ridiculous
US policy us such a Djoke.
So stupid. Absolutely no logic to this. We have no vaccine for covid that prevents transmission, everyone knows this. These policies make zero sense anymore.
Big Boy , afraid of needles , ?
Just read he is playing tennis by himself against a high school wall. He’s living his dream.
Dammit, we need to go protest Trudeau in ottawa. It's so not fair that the tennis guy can't play there because Trudeau is a dictator.... Or some such anti vax freedum noise
Wow so stupid
Can we have a 'vaxxed' tournament and an 'unvaxxed' one? FYI I would have extra medical staff at the prior one.
How about some reporting on the VACCINATED players who had to drop out of Wimbledon because they had COVID? FFS-do your job for once!
Weeks after the CDC finally admitted that there’s no difference between vaccinated and unvaccinated people when it comes to COVID infection and transmission, they refuse to change the discriminatory policy banning unvaccinated international travelers The incompetence is endless
So I guess it is not an “Open” anymore, try “Restricted”.
Can't travel to the US unless he gets an untested gene therapy clot shot which has Zero efficacy and causes severe adverse effects in thousands of people worldwide.
Womp womp.
We don’t need vaccine to go in USA ....
So how ever wins, wins the trophy for the best test subject for a medical drug for tennis
Good.
What a joke..
A travesty, the superstitious amongst us must be held accountable
If only Trudeau had an ounce of the integrity of Djokovic.
