It’s so stupid that they’re doing this, but you had a lot of these bizarre policies going on in these other states.”Ġ1:53 Nadal and Medvedev ‘very sad’ Novak Djokovic is not competing at US Open – video “And the shot is not stopping you from getting this. “They’re not letting Djokovic come to the United States to play in the US Open because of the shot! He’s already had Covid,” DeSantis said. For example, Florida’s governor, Ron DeSantis, a vocal opponent of Covid-19 mandates and regulations, was quick to call Djokovic’s exclusion “stupid.” Most notable, however, are the conservative politicians who threw their support behind Djokovic in an attempt to criticize the US government’s Covid-19 mitigation efforts. Djokovic’s longtime rival Rafael Nadal called the Serb’s absence “ very sad news”, while defending US Open champion Daniil Medvedev questioned the law that kept Djokovic from entering the country. The 35-year-old, whose vaccine status also meant he missed out on the Australian Open in January, announced his withdrawal from the US Open last week, adding that he plans to “keep in good shape and positive spirit and wait for an opportunity to compete again.”ĭjokovic has received significant backing from some in the tennis world, including John McEnroe, who referred to the ban as a “joke”.
