While I was automatically listed in the @BNPPARIBASOPEN and @MiamiOpen draw I knew it would be unlikely I’d be able to travel. The CDC has confirmed that regulations won’t be changing so I won't be able to play in the US. Good luck to those playing in these great tournaments 👊

Novak Djokovic is officially out of BNP Paribas Open Indian Wells 2022 after he couldn't gain approval to enter the US
Djokovic was in the Entry List until the draw which was conducted on Tuesday evening with the tournament organisers saying that it was not yet determined whether he will get CDC approval to enter the country.
He has now confirmed in a statement on his Twitter page that this approval wasn't forthcoming with the CDC confirming the regulations surrounding unvaccinated people coming into the US will not be changing.
This also means he has withdrawn from the Miami Open which forms part of the Sunshine Double.
"While I was automatically listed in the Indian Wells and Miami Open draw I knew it would be unlikely I’d be able to travel. The CDC has confirmed that regulations won’t be changing so I won't be able to play in the US. Good luck to those playing in these great tournaments," he wrote.
Grigor Dimitrov now takes over as second seed and a lucky loser will replace Dimitrov in the draw.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
