Novak Djokovic, the world’s number one ranked tennis player, has been granted permission to return to the US Open after the vaccine mandate ends on May 11th. This news comes as a relief to the tennis world, as Djokovic had been forced to withdraw from the tournament due to a positive COVID-19 test.
The US Open had previously implemented a strict vaccine policy, which required all players to be fully vaccinated before they could compete. Djokovic had not yet been vaccinated when he tested positive for COVID-19, and was thus unable to compete. However, with the vaccine mandate now lifted, Djokovic is free to return to the tournament.
This is great news for tennis fans, as Djokovic is widely regarded as one of the best players in the world. He has won 17 Grand Slam titles, including five US Open titles, and is a fan favorite. His return to the tournament will undoubtedly add excitement and anticipation to the event.
Djokovic’s return also provides a boost of confidence to the tennis world. His positive attitude and dedication to the sport have been an inspiration to many, and his return is a sign that the sport is slowly returning to normalcy. It also serves as a reminder that with the right precautions and safety protocols, even during a pandemic, tennis can still be enjoyed safely.
The US Open will be held from August 30th to September 12th, and with Novak Djokovic now allowed to compete, it promises to be an exciting event. Fans of the sport are sure to be delighted by his return, and it will be interesting to see how he fares against the other top players in the world.
