NOVAK DJOKOVIC is set to miss the 2022 US Open over his ongoing refusal to be vaccinated against Covid-19.

It's the latest development in what has become as explosive saga, with Djokovic missing the Australian Open earlier this year despite initially gaining a medical exemption to compete. Earlier this week, defending champion Daniil Medvedev inadvertently revealed he didn't expect his rival to gain an exemption to compete. But his hopes of a record-equalling 22nd major title at Flushing Meadows appear to be over before they begin.

Djokovic is a three-time champion at the U.S. Open and was the runner-up last year to Daniil Medvedev.

Djokovic has said he was still holding out hope of being able to enter the U.S. Open, but that would require a change of government policy, which the U.S. Tennis Association says it will adhere to.

John McEnroe Sounds off on Novak Djokovic Ban Exclusively to ... (OutKick)

Tennis legend and commentator John McEnroe did not mince words when discussed the absurd treatment that Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic has had to deal.

During an interview with Fox Digital, McEnroe was asked about his feelings on the Djokovic ban. On top of the fact that Djokovic just won Wimbledon and competed in the U.S. Open literally last year, it’s now the official guidance of the CDC that there is no difference between vaccinated and unvaccinated people with regards to catching or spreading COVID. McEnroe also stated that Djokovic is “perfectly entitled” to make the decision that’s best for him and that “it’s frustrating to see at this point” that a world class athlete is barred from entering the country based on government mandates.
