Unvaccinated tennis star Novak Djokovic said he won’t compete in the upcoming US Open.
He will miss his second Grand Slam tournament this year.
The reason was “due to the federal government’s vaccination policy for non-U.S. citizens.”
Non-U.S. citizens must show proof of being fully vaccinated against Covid-19 before boarding flights to the US.
He missed the Australian Open in January, he was detained and then deported following a legal dispute over his vaccine status.
