NOVAK DJOKOVIC will not be able to compete at the US Open unless the American government eases their travel restrictions.
Tennis players played infected in Australia and at Roland Garros and Wimbledon. An unvaccinated person who is not infected cannot enter the USA, but a vaccinated person who is infected can. And the 2001 Wimbledon champion slammed the logic behind the United States stopping Djokovic from entering the country to compete as he claimed players were “infected” at all three of the previous Majors this year. The world No 7 is still waiting to see if the rule will be dropped in time to compete but Goran Ivanisevic doesn’t seem positive.
Djokovic hasn't been vaccinated against COVID-19 and he is danger of missing out on the US Open.

Djokovic’s vaccination stance has caused headaches in the world of professional tennis. “The United States government requires all non-citizens and non-residents to present a certificate of full vaccination from a CDC approved vaccine to enter the country. However, should the United States policy change, he could then opt to play.” I don’t know.
The Serbian champion should not play in USA die to vaccine rules: what will become of his future.
Canada and the United States do not accept Djokovic and therefore the Serbian champion risks missing several tournaments, slipping far behind in the ranking. Some countries do not accept people without vaccines and Djokovic's presence on the American continent appears to be quite remote. Just when the season seemed to be taking a bad turn Nole reacted well and took the win at the Wimbledon tournament.

While the COVID-19 protocols in the United States prevent an unvaccinated foreigner from visiting the country, Djokovic is set to be banned from the tournament as he is yet to get the COVID-19 vaccine. In the absence of Djokovic, Nadal went on to pick his 21st Grand Slam title by winning the Australian Open 2022, before taking his tally to 22 major titles after claiming the French Open 2022 title.
John McEnroe praised Novak Djokovic for his ability to overcome difficulties, and appealed to help the Serbian enter the US and play the US Open 2022.

The Serbian phenomenon has thus risen to 21 Grand Slams, detaching Roger Federer and reducing the gap that separates him from Rafael Nadal in the all-time ranking. McEnroe explained: "Novak Djokovic does not get all the credit he deserves, but there is no doubt that he is one of the best ever.

Coach Goran Ivanisevic says there is a bigger chance of seeing him win Umag than Novak Djokovic being allowed to compete at the US Open.
I think that both of them will still win," Ivanisevic concluded. Both Djokovic and Rafael Nadal have made it past Roger Federer on the all-time Grand Slam record list. As long as Novak is playing, I have no doubt that there will be more Grand Slam titles.
