Novak Djokovic’s decision not to vaccinate caused him to miss the Australian Open earlier this year amid great uproar. Australia – just like the USA – does not allow unvaccinated people to enter the country.
This means that Djokovic can now miss the US Open, which starts on Monday, something that John McEnroe commented on.
— It’s stupid that he can’t play, the absolute closest to a joke you can get. If I were him, I would have just vaccinated myself, but you have to respect his decision and how he thinks, he tells them March.
The current world number six has himself expressed his desire to play at Flushing Meadows in New York but says he does not intend to get vaccinated.
Djokovic won Wimbledon earlier this summer and McEnroe hails his mental strength to bounce back after being knocked out of the Australian Open.
— It is not easy to train without knowing whether you will get to play or not. It took him four months to mentally recharge after what happened in Australia in January.
