Djokovic Addresses Questions About U.S. Open Eligibility

Novak Djokovic posted an update regarding his current U.S. Open preparation on social media early Saturday morning.

Although the 21-time Grand Slam champion is on the entry list ahead of the final major tournament of the calendar year, it’s still up in the air if Djokovic will be allowed to play in New York, as he remains unvaccinated for COVID-19. Right now, travelers coming to the United States must be vaccinated in order to enter the country.

“I am preparing as if I will be allowed to compete, while I await to hear if there is any room for me to travel to US,” Djokovic wrote on Instagram. “Fingers crossed!”
