Novak Djokovic: World No. 1 now eligible to compete at US Open, COVID-19 policy revised

Posted : 02 May 2023
Since international travelers are no longer required to be immunized against Covid-19, the US has confirmed that world number one Novak Djokovic will be permitted to compete at this year's US Open.

The 35-year-old, a 22-time Grand Slam champion, was compelled to skip last year's competition due to his immunization history.

Additionally, he did not attend the Miami and Indian Wells Masters events last year.

However, US policy will alter on May 12 and allow Serb Djokovic to visit Flushing Meadows once more in August.

"Today, we are announcing that the Administration will end the Covid-19 vaccine requirements for Federal employees, Federal contractors, and international air travellers at the end of the day on May 11, the same day that the Covid-19 public health emergency ends," the White House said in a statement.

Djokovic withdrew from Indian Wells in March because he was still unable to enter the country even after requesting special permission.

A year after being deported from the country on the night of the 2022 event due to his lack of vaccinations, he won the Australian Open in January.

Djokovic missed the current Madrid Open due to injury, but he will start his quest for a record-breaking 23rd Grand Slam victory at the French Open later this month.
