- Serb’s participation had been in doubt over vaccine status
- ‘Sadly, I will not be able to travel to NY this time for US Open’
Novak Djokovic has announced that he will not play at the US Open due to his vaccine status.
The world No 6, who has not been vaccinated against Covid-19, said last month that he was hoping “for some good news from USA” with the country requiring non-citizens to be fully vaccinated against coronavirus to enter. However, a recent update on the US Centers for Disease Control website confirmed the rule will remain in effect for the immediate future.
