Djokovic included in US Open provisional but Serbian at risk of missing tournament due to vaccine refusal

Multiple Serbian Grand Slam winner Novak Djokovic included in the preliminary list of participants in the US Open tennis championship, according to website US Open.

Djokovic has previously said he will not be vaccinated against coronavirus for a tournament in the United States, where a vaccination certificate is required. For this reason, the 35-year-old Serbian was unable to participate in the Australian Open 2022.

Under the first number, the leader of the world ranking, Russian Daniil Medvedev, is declared. Andrey Rublev, Karen Khachanov and Aslan Karatsev are also expected to compete in the main draw of the competition. In June, US Open organizers announced that Russian and Belarusian tennis players would be admitted to the tournament.

The women’s group is expected to feature American Serena Williams, a 23-time Grand Slam champion, who is on the protected rankings list.

The US Open will be held in New York from August 29 to September 11.
