Tennis legend Novak Djokovic has been banned in United States for the upcoming US Open after refusing to be vaccinated against COVID-19.
The U.S. has travel restrictions that require foreign visitors to be vaccinated against Covid-19.
Novak Djokovic announced that failure to get vaccinated has made him ineligible to travel to New York for the upcoming US Open.
‘Sadly, I will not be able to travel to NY this time for US Open,’ Djokovic tweeted Thursday ahead of the US Open draw. ‘Thank you #NoleFam for your messages of love and support.
“Good luck to my fellow players! I’ll keep in good shape and positive spirit and wait for an opportunity to compete again. See you soon tennis world!” he tweeted.
The three-time US Open winner had hoped to enter the tournament, provided the US government changed its policy for unvaccinated visitors.
