Novak Djokovic knows the consequences of his unvaccinated status.

The world number 7 has also accepted that not being vaccinated against COVID-19 means he will not be allowed to participate in certain tournaments, including the upcoming US Open due to US regulations.

Djokovic, who won Wimbledon earlier this month, said after the All-England Club final: “I’m not vaccinated and I’m not planning to get vaccinated so the only good news I can have is that they remove the mandatory green vaccination card or whatever you call it to enter the United States or as an exemption.

“I don’t know. I don’t think the exemption is realistic. If it’s a possibility, I don’t know what it would be,” he added.

If invited to compete, Djokovic will play for his fourth US Open title and 22nd Grand Slam overall to equal Rafael Nadal’s record.

The 2022 US Open runs from Monday August 29 through Sunday September 11 and is being held in Flushing Meadows, NY

MAKE IT HAPPEN, USTA! »
