It is quite obvious Novak Djokovic’s ultimate professional objective is to accumulate the most men’s Grand Slam singles titles. With his triumph at Wimbledon in July, the 35-year-old Serbian earned his 21st major trophy, putting him just behind Rafael Nadal’s record for men’s major victories.
Is Novak Djokovic playing in the 2022 US Open Tennis?
Djokovic, however, is certainly going to miss the opportunity to increase his tally of titles this year because of his decision to forego the novel Covid-19 vaccination.
Djokovic, who was still listed as being eligible to compete in the US Open on Monday, has not received the Covid-19 vaccination, and since October 2021, the United States has prohibited the entrance of foreigners who have not received the vaccine.
Before flying from another country, a non-US person must at least present proof of having been completely vaccinated against Covid-19, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the nation’s health protection body.
