Novak Djokovic is still waiting on to find out whether he can compete at this month's US Open, with tournament chiefs evaluating the protocols of player safety. Djokovic was dramatically banned from competing at this year's Australian Open and deported from Melbourne due to his COVID-19 vaccine status.
Since then the world No. 1 had endured a stop-start campaign throughout 2022, despite most nations relaxing their rulings against the virus. US Open bosses revealed in July that they would honour the United States Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) regulations which prohibited people from entering the country without the vaccine.
This ruling however has since been relaxed by the CDC, but Djokovic's chances of competing at Flushing Meadows in just over a week's time still remain unclear.
