Djokovic, who is currently ranked World No.7 has been named in the entry list for the US Open which was released on Wednesday. As per the ITF Grand Slam rulebook it was stated that the US Open does not have vaccination mandate in place for players, but it is said that the tournment organisers will adhere to the US government’s position regarding the travel into the country for unvaccinated non-US citizens.

Since the US government has made it mandatory for travellers seeking to enter the country fully vaccinated, it makes Djokovic’s participation unlikely in the tournament. Djokovic has refused to take the jab even after missing the Australian Open this year and his stance on vaccination might make him miss the year’s last Grand Slam event as well.

It is to be noted that earlier this year, the Serbian completely missed the tournaments in US like the Indian Wells Masters, Miami Open and US Clay Court Championships. After his Wimbledon success, Djokovic hoped that he would get some good news from the US Open organisers regarding their stance on the vaccination. However the former World No.1’s participation in the tournament appears unlikely at the moment.

The tournament is scheduled to be held this year from 29th August to 11th September 2022. Djokovic has won the US Open title three times in his career. He last won the title in 2018. If Djokovic is allowed to play in the upcoming Grand Slam event, he will have a chance to equal Rafael Nadal’s record 22 Grand Slam title victories.
