NEWS FROM AMERICA AT MIDNIGHT – BIDEN ANNOUNCED ABOUT NOVAK AND THE US OPEN: The final decision has been made – Djokovic is going to the US OPEN!
Novak could not play in tournaments in America this season due to the ban on entry of unvaccinated persons into the country, so he missed the Masters in Miami and Indian Wells and practically without a fight he fell short of 2,000 points.
He won the first Grand Slam of the season, the Australian Open, after he could not play in Melbourne last season because he was expelled from the country, also because of his refusal to be vaccinated. Before Roland Garros, he doesn’t shine on clay, and after that comes Wimbledon.
The US Open is the last Grand Slam of the season, and given that Novak has long said that his priority is not the first place on the ATP list, which he currently holds, by the way, but winning the Grand Slams, it is clear how much this decision means to him. So far in his career, Novak Djokovic has won the US Open three times, the last time in 2018. He is not defending his points from the US Open this season because he did not play last season precisely because of his refusal to get vaccinated.
