After Djokovic was expelled by Australia this year, it will miss the US Open. According to BBC reports on August 25, since October 2021, the United States has banned tourists who have not vaccinated vaccines to enter the country. Since the new crown vaccine has not yet been vaccinated, Djokovic cannot participate in the US Tennis Open in New York from August 29th to September 12th.

It is reported that the previous list of the United States Tennis Open has the name of Djokovic. On July 30, he wrote on his social platform: "I'm preparing, I seem to be allowed to participate in the competition." In addition Djokovic also said he wanted to participate in the competition.

But on August 25, he wrote: "Unfortunately, I can't fly to New York to participate in the US Open. Thanks to the fans for their love, I will continue to keep the state and wait for the opportunity to return. Goodbye to tennis world!"

Djokovic also said that his primary task at this stage of his career is to achieve the Grand Slam. He really wants to go to New York. "But if I have no chance, it is not the end of the world, and I will look forward."

Earlier, according to the US Fox News Network, Djokovic voiced the "dual standard" of the new US crown policy. Because the United States did not allow him to enter the country because he did not take the new crown vaccine, the Americans who did not take vaccines were allowed to participate.

He said: "Sandglen (American tennis player) can participate, but I can't. If I have American passports and green cards, I can participate. This policy may not be medical logic, but political logic. I would rather not participate in the competition. "

Therefore, on the 25th, Djokovic wrote that he did not participate in the US Tennis Open on the 25th, his fans commented: "This (to you) is unfair."

At the same time, a large number of fans expressed their support for Djokovic, and they wrote: "We still love you."
