Novak Djokovic could miss the US Open due to the United States' continued ban on non-vaccinated international travellers.
If there is no relaxation in the guidelines over the next two months, Djokovic looks set to miss participation in yet another hardcourt Major.
On Friday, the US authorities announced
that international travelers would no longer require a negative
coronavirus (COVID-19) test to enter the country. However, the
requirement for a 'full vaccination status' still stands with no
indication of how long that rule will stand.
As it stands, Novak Djokovic's reluctance to take the coronavirus
vaccine rules him out of the fourth and final Grand Slam of the season,
played in New York City. The Serb already missed the Australian Open earlier this year, where he has won nine titles.
When Djokovic missed the Australian Open due to his reluctance to take the vaccine, he admitted that missing events and risking his legacy was a price he was willing to pay. It remains to be seen whether he truly means it after watching Nadal win two this year.

- Not only did he Lose... he has shown yet again he is a Loser. If his behavior is a surprise to anyone, then you have a poor ability to assess a person's true being. Or do not wish to see it. A hint may have been when anti-Vax Boy contracted Covid, yet knowingly exposed kids & adults while taking selfies and promo photos with small crowds during at least two publicity functions. That's not the actions of someone who is at all concerned about others! No matter who it may be, famous or not, sooner or later their true identity shines through the façade.mandoist15-04-2024
