The United States has modified the anti-coronavirus regulations and the Serbian could obtain options to be admitted to the tournament
After his loss at the Masters 1,000 in Canada, the door closed to those not vaccinated against the coronavirus, Novak Djokovic he was again low in the Cincinnati tournament. Where Rafael Nadal is already training after being absent from the Canadian tournament due to injury. Something expected and that the tennis player himself had assumed for a long time. Perhaps since January itself, when he began his odyssey to play tennis in a post-pandemic era.
What was not expected is that the United States began to modify health standards and lower restrictions, as announced yesterday from the Center for Disease Control (CDC in its acronym in English). Among the most prominent, the one that interests the Serbian is the one that states that vaccinated and unvaccinated people will be treated the same.
A situation that could allow him to enter the United States and play the tournament. Although it would still be necessary to know if the US health authorities refer to the citizens of the country or to any traveler from abroad.
For a long time, the Serbian indicated that he was not going to change his mind about the vaccine, although he continues to train as if he were going to play, in case there was any option. “Fingers crossed!” he noted in a social media post a few days ago. For the moment, not injecting the dose has prevented him from playing in the Australian Open and the Masters 1,000 in Miami, Indian Wells, Canada and Cincinnati. The US Open begins on August 29, and the hope for the Serbian opens.
