The US Open 2022 fourth, and last, Grand Slam of the year will begin on Monday, August 29 and end on September 11. Despite the closeness of the date (just over three weeks to go), Novak Djokovic His presence in the American tournament has not yet been confirmed. In this context, new bad news has been added in the last few hours.
The Serbian’s refusal to receive the coronavirus vaccine has closed countless doors for him so far this year. The story started with the Australian Open, where he was not allowed to enter and even he was deported. In this sense, a new chapter was added this Friday.
Not being inoculated against covid-19, Djokovic He was not allowed to enter Canada to play the Masters that will take place from August 6 to 14. This means a more than discouraging scenario considering the possibility of being present at the tournament that will be played in the United States.
“Either the Canadian government will change the rules regarding vaccination or they will roll up their sleeves and get vaccinated. But I don’t think either of those scenarios is realistic,” Canadian tournament director Eugene Lepierre said of Nole’s situation.
