Novak Djokovic announced Thursday that he will not be able to travel to the United States for the upcoming US Open in New York and has withdrawn from the tournament. "Sadly, I will not be able to travel to NY this time for US Open. Thank you #NoleFam for your messages of love and support," Djokovic wrote Djokovic, who is coming off of a win in the last major tournament at Wimbledon in July, has refused to take get the COVID-19 vaccine and has shown he is willing to skip tournaments in countries that require him to be vaccinated. That includes tournament in the United States, as current travel restrictions in the country state that COVID-19 vaccines are needed for foreign nationals. In July, Djokovic had expressed hope that the United States would reverse its policies, which would have allowed him to compete in the final major of the year and preserve his spot in the current world rankings. Djokovic had been ranked No. 1 in the world earlier this year, but has since fallen to No. 6. "I am preparing as if I will be allowed to compete, while I await to hear if there is any room for me to travel to [the] US," Djokovic wrote

Djokovic's US Open participation has been a point of contention ever since he reiterated his stance against getting vaccinated for the coronavirus, shortly after winning the 2022 Wimbledon Championships. While the 21-time Grand Slam champion put an end to all the talk surrounding his plans to get vaccinated, it was just the start of his US Open saga. The United States has been following the vaccine mandate for foreign visitors, which states that every non-American citizen traveling into the country needs to show proof of double vaccination. After Djokovic confirmed his stance against vaccination, it all came down to whether the US authorities would change the rules on the vaccine requirement. Now we wait to see if Novak Djokovic will remain on the main draw entry list after the qualifying draw later today (Jack Sock on standby). The CDC is still reviewing the mandatory vaccination requirement to enter the US, 10 days after guidance for community settings was relaxed. The three-time US Open champion was announced on the However, the CDC's relaxed regulations are only applicable to those already in the country.

But all those experts, with all their fancy degrees and brilliant training, got it wrong.

However, his victory at the All England Club could prove to be his only success at a major in 2022. Djokovic, who confirmed after the Wimbledon final that he did not plan on getting the coronavirus vaccine, was able to compete at the French Open — where he lost to Rafael Nadal in the quarterfinals — and Wimbledon, but the United States' strict policy of only allowing fully vaccinated non-citizens to enter the country has long cast his participation at the US Open in doubt.
