It is known that Novak Djokovic (1st place, Serbia), who did not receive the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) vaccine, requested special entry permission to the United States.
The British BBC reported on the 23rd (Korean time), “Djokovic is waiting for a special entry permit to participate in the Indian Wells Masters and Miami Open next month in the United States.”
US authorities are currently blocking the entry of foreigners who have not been vaccinated for Corona 19. When the end of the Corona 19 emergency 메이저사이트is declared in May, there is a possibility that unvaccinated people will be allowed to enter the country, but there are currently no plans to change the policy.
Because of this, Djokovic is also blocked from entering the United States. Since both the Indian Wells Masters and Miami Open start in the United States next month, Djokovic must be vaccinated or receive special entry permission to participate in the tournament.
Djokovic, who is scheduled to participate in the Dubai Duty Free Championship on the 27th, said, “The schedule after the Dubai competition depends on the United States. We are currently waiting for an answer from the United States. We will know the results soon.”
He added, “The organizers want me to be able to play in the tournament. I expect a positive decision to be made, but it’s not in my hands.”
Djokovic has a painful memory of being expelled from the Australian Open last year due to non-vaccination. This year, as the Australian government eased restrictions on entry, it became possible for unvaccinated people to participate in the Australian Open, and Djokovic, who entered the Australian Open after two years, reached the top in men’s singles and set a milestone of winning the 10th championship.
