Novak Djokovic did not participate in this survey, whose participation in the US Open will not be possible unless the US government changes the rules for access to the country for those who have not been vaccinated against covid-19 or makes an exception for the Serbian player. Djokovic has not been vaccinated, nor does he plan to do so, so he can only enter the United States if one of the two scenarios listed above occurs. Despite everything, Noll continues to train as if he were going to play the championship. “I am preparing as if it will allow me to compete, while I wait to see if there is any option to travel to the United States. Djokovic recently wrote on his Instagram account. The tennis player is confident that the United States will change the rule for access to the country before the tournament begins.
The US Open has decided to exclude Djokovic from one of its recently published promotional posters. In it you can see Rafa Nadal, Carlos Alcaraz, Nick Kyrgios, Daniel Medvedev, Naomi Osaka, Serena Williams, Emma Radocano and Iga Swiatek, but there is no trace of the Serbian tennis player. Last July, after learning that Djokovic had registered for the tournament, the organization had already responded forcefully: “According to the Grand Slam (International Tennis Federation) rulebook, all eligible players are automatically entered into the main draws for men’s and women’s singles based on the classification made before 42 days from the first Monday of the tournament. The US Open does not have a vaccination mandate for players, but will respect the position of the US government regarding travel into the country for non-US citizens.”
