Novak Djokovic (35) will miss the next important tournament. Because the Serb, who has not been vaccinated against the corona virus, is still not allowed to enter the US, the number 1 in the world is also missing at the Miami Open, which starts next week, after the Masters tournament in Indian Wells.
“We tried to get an exemption for Novak Djokovic. But it didn’t work,” said tournament director James Blake. “We have tried to talk to the government, but that is not in our hands.”
Florida governor Ron DeSantis, among others, had argued for an exception for the 22-time Grand Slam winner. The American tennis association USTA and the organizers of the US Open had also pledged their support. Until May 11, the rule applies in the US that foreigners need a vaccination certificate when they arrive by plane.
Djokovic has already won the tournament in Miami six times. “We are one of the most important tournaments in the world, we want to have the best players who can play. We did everything we could,” said Blake. (mbi/SDA)
