Novak Djokovic

Novak Djokovic officially withdrew from the ATP 1000 event in Montreal as per a statement released by the organizers on Thursday.

It's been known for a few weeks now that Djokovic most likely won't play in Montreal but now it's official as the organizers confirmed his withdrawal. Obviously, none of that happened which forced the Serbian to withdraw. The Serbian can't enter Canada as an unvaccinated foreign national because the country has the same rules as the US. A minister confirmed a few weeks ago that the only way Djokovic could enter Canada was if he got vaccinated or the rules change.

Tennis - Djokovic defeated Roddick in straight sets in Montreal 2007 to reach the semis.

I could not serve out for the set, and I fixed that in the tie break with a solid performance," Novak Djokovic said after beating Andy Roddick. He served well in the opener, and I did not play well from the baseline. Djokovic defended break chances in the opener's sixth game to remain on the positive side and moved in front with a backhand down the line winner at 5-5. It was a difficult match, and I survived it despite not playing at my best. Roddick was ready to fight in set number two, and he fended off three break chances at 3-4 to remain competitive. Djokovic started all over after the setback and took the tie break 7-4 with a service winner for a massive boost.

But from what I saw pretty much no one was, the tournament allows non vax citizens to play and only 30% have had a booster..,” he wrote. If everyone in the country was following guidelines then I’m all for them enforcing a vax entry policy. However the average has been around 400 deaths a day, while more than 12,500 Americans died during July according to USA Today. “I’m out with Covid. I was just in the (United) states and it didn’t really feel like too many were following any recommendations or guidelines there. “The US Open does not have a vaccination mandate in place for players, but it will respect the US government’s position regarding travel into the country for unvaccinated non-US citizens.” Djokovic has revealed he is “preparing to compete” at the final grand slam of the season although currently his refusal to get vaccinated for Covid will see him barred from entry to the US.

AMERICAN tennis player John Isner has questioned the United States' Covid-19 protocol amid fears unvaccinated Novak Djokovic will miss the US Open.

He finished as runner-up to Daniil Medvedev in last year's final and won the most recent of his three U.S. Open crowns in 2018. Isner is hoping to feature at Flushing Meadows and wants to see the strongest possible field, regardless of whether they're vaccinated against the coronavirus, which has resulted in almost 6.5million deaths worldwide. Former world No. 1 Djokovic, 35, found himself at the centre of a media storm in January when he travelled to the Australian Open alleging he had a medical exemption to play.

Djokovic himself wrote on Twitter on July 30 that he is “preparing as if I will be allowed to compete, while I await to hear if there is any room for me to travel to the US“. Some 20 days before the tennis tournament should start, some US Congress members are also urging authorities and President Joe Biden to make an exception in the COVID-19 entry rules and allow Djokovic to enter the country. Over 46,000 people have signed an online petition calling for the United States Tennis Association, USTA, to work with the US government to allow Serbian tennis star Novak Djokovic to enter the US to compete in the US Open tournament.

US Senator Marsha Blackburn wrote a letter criticizing the vaccine policy that will ban Novak Djokovic from the US Open.

Djokovic also had issues at the Australian Open and was forced to leave the country even after being granted an exemption. Djokovic has no plans to get vaccinated before the US Open begins on Aug. 29. One of the reasons the vaccine mandate makes little sense is that an unvaccinated American tennis player would be permitted to compete in the US Open even if he or she traveled outside the country and then returned.

“I mean, we have to find a way to get Novak into the US Open,” John McEnroe told Tennis365 last month in an exclusive interview. “I don’t agree with his decision not to get vaccinated, but I respect it. That is unlikely to come and it means that the Wimbledon champion and 21-time Grand Slam champion will be a spectator for the US Open and while that is a sentence that he has opted to accept, the sport of tennis is being punished as much as Djokovic at this point in what has long since become a messy story.

John Isner says it is "complete lunacy" that Novak Djokovic cannot compete at the US Open.

He said: "The only thing I regret a little bit is that the fight is somehow affected by politics at the moment because of the vaccination issue. The 21-time Grand Slam champion has reaffirmed that he won’t be getting vaccinated in order to enter the US to play at Flushing Meadows, despite missing the defence of his Australian Open title, and the Indian Wells and Miami Open earlier this year because of his status. John Isner says it is "complete lunacy" that Novak Djokovic is currently unable to compete at the US Open this year due to his vaccination status.

Tennis Canada a annoncé jeudi après-midi l'identité des quatre joueurs qui allaient bénéficier d'un laissez-passer pour le tableau principal de l'Omnium ...

Même chose pour le champion grand chelem et le triple gagnant du tournoi Andy Murray qui a obtenu un laissez-passer. Tennis Canada a aussi annoncé que l’Allemand Oscar Otte, 41e joueur mondial, renonçait au tournoi. Ainsi, le non moins controversé Nick Kyrgios, finaliste au dernier tournoi de Wimbledon, a obtenu sa place dans le tableau principal du tournoi.

Le «Joker», sixième raquette mondiale, devait être l'une des attractions principales du tournoi présenté à Montréal.

Le choix de Murray n’est pas une surprise. L’ancien numéro 1 mondial ne peut pas entrer au Canada en raison de son statut vaccinal. Le Lavallois pointe actuellement au 238e rang mondial. Le joueur de 35 ans aimerait beaucoup obtenir une place parmi les joueurs favoris en prévision des Internationaux des États-Unis. Il a démontré qu’il avait encore du bon tennis en lui cette saison alors qu’il atteint la finale lors des tournois de Stuttgart et de Sydney. Pour revenir à Galarneau, il en sera à sa première participation à un tournoi Masters 1000 en carrière. L’athlète de 23 ans s’est incliné en finale du tournoi challenger de Winnipeg en fin de semaine dernière. On peut penser qu’il arrivera dans le tournoi avec une bonne dose de confiance. À Wimbledon, quelques jours avant son sacre, il a indiqué qu’il n’avait pas l’intention de recevoir une injection avant le début de la saison sur surface dure en sol nord-américain.

Murray a remporté le tournoi canadien à trois reprises au cours de sa carrière (2009, 2010 et 2015). Il a rapidement gravi les échelons cette année, passant du 134e au 50e rang. Pour sa part, Pospisil, 141e, participera à l’Omnium Banque Nationale pour la 14e fois. Le gouvernement canadien exige toujours une isolation de 14 jours pour toute personne non vaccinée contre la COVID-19 arrivant au pays.

L'organisation a du même coup confirmé que Novak Djokovic ne serait pas de la partie.

Djokovic, a 35-year-old from Serbia, has said he won’t get the shots, even if that means he can’t go to certain tournaments. After beating Nick Kyrgios in the Wimbledon final on July 10, Djokovic said he “would love” to participate in the last Grand Slam tournament of the year at Flushing Meadows, but also acknowledged, “I’m not planning to get vaccinated.” Last weekend, Djokovic posted on social media that he was holding out hope of getting the chance to play in the U.S. Open, writing: “I am preparing as if I will be allowed to compete, while I await to hear if there is any room for me to travel to US. Fingers crossed!”

The 21-time Grand Slam winner is not vaccinated for COVID-19, and Canada currently requires travelers to have two vaccine doses to enter the country.

He was deported from Australia ahead of the Australian Open due to the same reason last January. The situation continues to loom over Djokovic’s entire season. A decision about his status has yet to be made, but he does remain on the entry list. He has played in only seven tournaments this year due to vaccination issues. However, it is speculated that Djokovic withdrew due to his vaccination status for COVID-19. He is unvaccinated and outwardly against getting the vaccine. The United States currently requires travelers from foreign countries to be fully vaccinated. The former World No. 1 did not provide a reason why he will not be playing ahead of the final major tournament of the year, the U.S. Open.
