Djokovic to miss US Open due to lack of COVID-19 vaccine

Novak was banned from entering the US

Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic won’t play on US Open-2022.

The world No. 6 decided not to be vaccinated against COVID-19 and will miss the tournament due to current US regulations that require people to be vaccinated against coronavirus in order to qualify for entry into country.

“Unfortunately, this time I will not be able to go to New York for the US Open. Good luck to my comrades. I will be in good shape and positive mood. Looking forward to the next chance to get on the court,” Novak wrote on social media.

Recall that Djokovic has already missed the Australian Open this year due to his refusal to vaccinate against covid.

This year, the Serbian became the winner of Wimbledon 2022. In the final match, Novak defeated Australian Nick Kyrgios in four sets.

Note that Djokovic won Wimbledon for the fourth year in a row. Also, the triumph was for the Serbian 21st among the Grand Slam tournaments, thanks to which Novak bypassed Roger Federer (20) and approached Rafael Nadal (22).

US Open-2022 will be held from August 29 to September 11. In addition to Djokovic, Alexander Zverev will miss the US tournament.
