Novak Djokovic resigned to US Open fate as he prepares for Wimbledon title defence

Novak Djokovic has conceded "there is not much I can do" about this year's US Open with the star set to miss a second Grand Slam of 2022.

Djokovic, 35, will begin the defence of his Wimbledon title on Monday, when he faces South Korean player Kwon Soon-woo on Centre Court. The top seed cannot meet Rafael Nadal, who remains on course for a calendar Grand Slam, until the final.

On the contrary, it now looks like SW19 will represent Djokovic's last chance of winning a Slam title this year. He's already missed the Australian Open, having been deported out of the country the day before the tournament began following an explosive saga over his refusal to be vaccinated against Covid-19.
