novak djokovic He is one of the best tennis players of all time. His tenure as No. 1, his Grand Slam titles and greatness are reasons enough to defend the first premise. He is also a player with strong convictions off the field, which since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic have caused him some problems.
His position that he did not want to be vaccinated caused the Australian government to expel him from the country in 2022 before the Australian Open and in the same year he missed the US Open for this reason. However, these absences seem to be a thing of the past: in January 2023 he returned to Melbourne (took the title) and will also be able to compete on American soil.
Next, Sports news shows all the details.
Can Novak Djokovic play in US Open 2023?
The health situation in the world has changed a lot in the last year and several countries have modified their policies regarding COVID-19. The United States, for example, is one of them. As of May 11, vaccination is no longer necessary to enter New York, so the Serb will say he is present at the US Open. The final Grand Slam of the season will be held from Monday 28 August to Sunday 10 September.
The Serb’s most recent appearance in the United States was at the 2021 US Open, a tournament in which he lost the final to Daniil Medvedev 6-4, 6-4, 6-4. It is worth noting that due to a vaccination refusal, he was absent from the Indian Wells 1000 Masters and Miami 2023, which were won respectively by Carlos Alcaraz and the aforementioned Medvedev.
