Novak Djokovic’s hopes of playing in the US Open suffered another blow after the tournament said it would respect the United States government’s rules on the Covid-19 vaccine.
The US requires non-citizens to be fully vaccinated against coronavirus to enter the country, meaning Djokovic, who has made it repeatedly clear that he will not take the vaccine, will not be allowed entry.
The Wimbledon champion, who was also banned from playing in the Australian Open due to his anti-vaccination stance, said after his success in London that he was waiting “hopefully for some good news from USA”.
While Djokovic is highly unlikely to be in New York, another former champion will be, after Serena Williams was named on the entry list.
Great Britain’s Kyle Edmund is also set to enter his first singles event at a grand slam in two years.
The 27-year-old’s career has been derailed by a knee injury but he made his comeback at Wimbledon, playing in the mixed doubles.
Due to his protected ranking of 48, health pending, he will be included in the main draw. »
