The tournament also allows those who are not immunized against Covid to play, but the US government does not allow them to enter. Ivanisevic: “Easier for me to win a tournament than for him to play in New York”
Aren’t you vaccinated? You can play the Us Open, but you cannot enter New York. Unless you are a US citizen. The latest from the USA, therefore, confirm that Novak Djokovic (for now) will not be able to participate in the last Grand Slam of the season, starting on August 29, but only because he cannot yet set foot in the country. That’s why the name of the former world number 1, fresh winner of Wimbledon, still appears on the entry list of the tournament. “There are more chances that I will win the Umag tournament than Nole will play the US Open,” said Goran Ivanisevic at the presentation of the Croatian tournament. “Not to get vaccinated was his decision and he will not change his mind – said Ivanisevic -. The problem is also those who elected Novak as leader of the no vax, which is absolutely not true, because he never wanted to influence nobody”.
The petition
–
Meanwhile, a signature campaign has been launched on the Change.org web platform for the United States to grant Nole an exemption: “There is absolutely no reason at this stage of the pandemic not to allow Djokovic to play the US Open. the US government and the USTA must work together to allow him to play. If unvaccinated American players can play, one of the legends of the sport must be able to do the same “is the text of the petition which has already collected 12,000 signatures.
