Tennis star Novak Djokovic is seeking “special permission” to compete in two American tournaments as continued Covid-19 requirements threaten to stop the Serbian.
Djokovic equalled Rafael Nadal's record of 22 Grand Slam titles by winning last month's Australian Open and is hoping to continue his early season form in America next month. Indian Wells is the first Masters 1000 taking place between March 6 and 19 which is followed by the Miami Open.
Despite a host of countries dropping their vaccination requirements, the US still require non-residents to have had the vaccine until May 11. Last year Djokovic missed the US Open due to his vaccination status and he is set to need "special permission" to compete in America next month.
