The Serbian star will not travel to New York this year, he announced
Novak Djokovic has confirmed that he will not contest this year’s US Open after being unable to travel to America because of his Covid vaccine status.
“Sadly, I will not be able to travel to NY [New York] this time for US Open,” the Serb wrote in a social media message on Thursday, while thanking his fans for their messages of support.
“Good luck to my fellow players! I’ll keep in good shape and positive spirit and wait for an opportunity to compete again. See you soon tennis world!” he vowed.

Djokovic reached last year’s final at Flushing Meadows, which he lost to world number one Daniil Medvedev, and is a three-time winner at the American tournament.
After Djokovic was deported from Australia earlier this year, the US Open is the second Grand Slam he will miss in 2022 due to his position as remaining unvaccinated against coronavirus.
