Novak Djokovic has reported that he won't play at the US Open because of his antibody status.
World No 6, who has not been inoculated against Covid-19, said last month that he was trusting "for some uplifting news from the USA" with the nation requiring non-residents to be completely immunized against Covid to enter. Be that as it may, a new update on the US Centers for Disease Control site affirmed the standard will stay essentially for the short term.
On Thursday, the Serb, a three-time champ at Flushing Meadows, affirmed he won't play in the competition.
"Tragically, I can not make a trip to NY this time for US Open," he tweeted. "Much obliged to you #NoleFam for your messages of adoration and backing. Best of luck to my kindred players! I'll keep everything looking great and positive soul and sit tight for an amazing chance to contend once more. See you soon tennis world!"
Djokovic likewise missed the Australian Open this year, after a long line over Covid rules.
"Novak is an extraordinary boss," said the competition chief, Stacey Allaster, in a proclamation, "and it is exceptionally sad that he will not be able to contend at the 2022 US Open, as he can't enter the country because of the central government's immunization strategy for non-US residents. We anticipate inviting Novak back at the 2023 US Open."
