Tennis season in USA is ready to live its first chapter of 2023 with prestige Indian Wells Masters 1000 and Miami. The best players in the world are signed up to fight for the trophy, but the big question is whether novak djokovic will be present. The Serb, who is sticking to his position of not getting vaccinated against COVID-19, has not set foot on US soil since 2021, the year he missed his final US Open vs. Russian Daniil Medvedev.
Sports news presents what Nole’s condition is.
Can Novak Djokovic play Indian Wells and Miami Masters 1000?
In January, due to a resurgence of cases of COVID-19 patients, the United States imposed a ban on those who have not been vaccinated from entering the country until April 10. In this way, the Serb will not be able to play the Masters 1000 in Indian Wells and Miamiwhich start on Monday 6 and Sunday 19 March respectively.
That won’t affect the ranking of the Serb, who also didn’t play in a tournament last year, much. If there are no new measures, Djokovic will be able to reunite with the New York crowd at the US Open. The world No. 1 has celebrated in the Big Apple three times.
The aforementioned M1000 will be the first tournaments that Djokovic will not be able to attend in 2023. It is worth noting that Australia lifted all kinds of restrictions and Novak was champion there after his expulsion in 2022.
