 This video is brought to you by PlayYourCourt. Welcome back to Tennis Talk, my name's Cam Williams and Novak Djokovic has responded to being withdrawn from the Indian Wells Tournament. He's come out on social media and given out a statement so let's go have a read of what Noel had to say about his withdrawal from Indian Wells. This is what Djokovic had to say over on Twitter. While I was automatically listed in the BNP Paribas Open and Miami Open draw, I knew it would be unlikely I'd be able to travel. The CDC has confirmed that regulations won't be changing so I won't be able to play in the US. Good luck to those playing in these great tournaments. So you have it, that's what Novak had to say but before we get to that let me tell you about PlayYourCourt. We've teamed up with them this year and they're a great service. You've probably seen some of their ads here and there around the internet. They're actually a great service for if you are a tennis player and you want to actually learn how to play tennis, you can get coaching from them anywhere in the US so if you're just looking for somebody to have a hit with that's one of the pet peeves I have with tennis is that it's hard to find a hitting partner unless you want to hit against the brick walls so we've teamed up with them.

So Djokovic didn't get CDC approval which is really what we all were kind of expecting over the last couple of days it came down to that it wasn't about Indian Wells or Miami saying yes or no they only have as much power as what the Australian Open did at the start of the year but at the end of the day it comes down to the governments of the countries whether or not they want unvaccinated people allowed into their countries it's a country by country basis some countries in Europe have different rules America have a set of rules we all know about Australia's rules after what happened in January so Djokovic is going to find it very difficult to play week to week because we don't know what countries have what regulations we do know he's playing in Monte Carlo in a couple weeks time and also we know that he's probably going to be able to play the French Open and possibly Wimbledon as well but there's still some tournaments in between that we don't know where he's going to play and who knows end of the year US Open comes up might be different regulations then and maybe he can play at the end of during the US Open and during that US Open series but let me know down in the comments below do you think Djokovic not having played that much already this year and then you know playing almost every four weeks it seems or at least one tournament every couple of weeks is this going to affect his chances of winning slams in 2022
