The US government will no longer differentiate between vaccinated and unvaccinated people, which increases the chances of the Serbian taking part in the final Grand Slam of the year.
While all seemed lost for Novak Djokovic, a quota of hope appears on his horizon. It is assumed that the Centro de Control de Enfermedades de Estados Unidos (CDC) announces a series of modifications to the Covid standard, among which destacan that ahora the personas vacunadas y no vacunadas tendrán las mismas guides de actuación en el país, es say that there will be no differences between them . A change that could allow the Serb to go to North America.
And it is that after the CDC announces the end of many of the restrictions that existed in terms of controlling the pandemic, the only thing that separates the winner of 21 Grand Slams from playing at the US Open is that the government formalizes this measure in relation to the conditions of entry into the country . If this happens, Nole will be able to enter the country even if he is not vaccinated.
The only problem is that formalizing these measures could take weeks and with the US Open fast approaching (begins August 29), time is running out for the Balkan native. This is where the United States Tennis Association (USTA) could play a relevant role, since using its bureaucracy, it could intervene to ensure that Djokovic is allowed to enter the country in advance.
A trip which, if given, could undoubtedly have great importance in the tennis development of the event. Former world number one He was triple champion in New York (2011, 2015 and 2018) and has just lost in the 2021 final against Daniil Medvedev. , so he will undoubtedly be one of the big favorites of the Big Apple. Moreover, if he won the US Open this year, he would tie Rafael Nadal as the man with the most Open Era Grand Slam titles.
While waiting for this whole process to end, the Serb has been training for weeks at the Tipsarevic Academy (very close to his residence in Belgrade) to prepare for the possibility of being able to compete in the American major. His last match to date was on July 10, when he beat Nick Kyrgios in the Wimbledon final.
