Novak Djokovic is likely to miss the US Open. Now the Wimbledon winner is again commenting on his vaccination status and a possible end at the last Grand Slam of the year.
US Open-Aus because of unvaccinated vaccination status: “I hope for positive news, but there is not much time left. I don’t know, but hope dies last,” said the newly crowned Wimbledon winner Novak Djokovic (35) about his questionable start at the US Open. The reason: In order to be able to enter the USA, a complete proof of vaccination is required – however, Djokovic is not vaccinated. For this reason, he had already been unable to take part in the Australian Open in January.
Short, clear, compact
“Not the end of the world”: The 35-year-old says about a possible non-participation on the Serbian TV station “RTS”: “I would like to play the US Open, but if it doesn’t work, it’s not the end of the world . It’s important to me to stay physically and mentally healthy so I can play for a long time to come.”
Is Djokovic missing a chance to draw level with Nadal? However, the start at the last Grand Slam tournament of the year would not be unimportant. Because Djokovic secured his 21st Grand Slam title with his Wimbledon victory. Thus, the record winner Rafael Nadal (22nd Grand Slam title) is within reach again and the “Joker” could catch up in New York.
