It is still unclear whether Novak Djokovic will be allowed to start in March at the Masters tournaments in Indian Wells (California) and Miami (Florida). The US recently extended vaccination requirements through April. Immigrants must therefore still be fully vaccinated against the corona virus in order to enter the United States.
However, Djokovic still refuses a vaccination against the corona virus and hopes for another solution. At the end of February, the Serb applied to the US authorities for a special permit to enter the United States, but it was rejected.
He is now receiving further support: Florida Senator Rick Scott, along with his fellow Senator Marco Rubio, wrote a letter to US President Joe Biden. In this they ask the 80-year-old to let Djokovic participate in the American tournaments. After Biden announced the end of the pandemic in September 2022, the current mandatory vaccination requirement for international travelers to enter the country appears “obsolete and should be abolished.” Djokovic is also a world-class athlete with excellent health, so it is “illogical and inappropriate not to let him compete in the tournaments”.
The US tennis association USTA and the US Open would also welcome Djokovic’s participation. “Novak Djokovic is one of the greatest champions our sport has ever seen,” said a tweet from the US Open. It is hoped that his fans will be able to see him in Indian Wells and Miami this year.
Due to his lack of vaccination against the corona virus, the “Djoker” was banned from entering the US last year and therefore missed all tournaments there. Will that also be the case this year or will US President Joe Biden come to the rescue? (mbi)
