With an official note, the White House confirmed that the restrictions will end on May 11: after missing seven tournaments between 2022 and this year, Nole will return to play in the USA
The news had been in the air for several weeks, now it’s official: the United States opens to travelers not vaccinated against Covid. This will allow Novak Djokovic – forced to miss Indian Wells and Miami in recent weeks – to participate in the US Open, the last Grand Slam of the year scheduled for August 28th. The restrictions on the unvaccinated will end on May 11, as communicated by a note released by the White House.
THE GRAND SLAM DREAM
—
Djokovic will therefore be able to return to play in the United States after missing seven tournaments in the USA: before this year’s Sunshine Double, in 2022 Nole was unable to play in the tournaments in Toronto, Cincinnati and precisely the US Open, as well as Indian Wells and You love me. This year he had been readmitted to Australia after last year’s expulsion and brought home the title in Melbourne: the Grand Slam goal, on paper, is still alive. Who knows if the US Open may not be the last obstacle to fulfilling Nole’s dream, which in 2021 went one step away from achieving it with the defeat in the final against Daniil Medvedev in Flushing Meadows. The next stop will be Roland Garros, scheduled for May 28.
