 Welcome back to Tennis Talk, my name's Cam Williams and we have confirmation from the USTA that Novak Djokovic will not be able to come into America, therefore not able to play at the US Open. Let's go over a read of the statement that they bought out only a couple of hours ago. This is what the USTA had to say in a statement. US Open does not have a vaccination mandate in place for players, but it will respect the US government's position regarding travel into the country for unvaccinated non-US citizens. Heard the Grand Slam rulebook, all eligible players are automatically entered into the men's and women's main draw based on ranking 42 days prior to the first Monday of the event. There you have it, it's a similar situation to what we saw in Australia where Djokovic was allowed to play the Australian Open, but he just couldn't get into the country, which is always going to be a problem of course. You can't get through the borders, how are you going to get to the court? So that is where that's where the USTA stand. They're like, hey, we want him to play, but the US government won't let him in and we're going to respect that, that they are the rules and unfortunately he can't be in there. That's why he's on the entry list. If you saw our video for that, he's on the entry list for that and a lot of people ask some questions, why is he on the entry list? If he's not at the tournament by a certain time, he won't be in the draw. As we saw it in Indian Wells, remember in March we saw him in the draw. He actually got seated in the draw and then entered with the draw last minute because he couldn't get into America. Same situation for Canada. He will be on the Canadian Open draw or at least on the entry list, but he won't be able to play that either because he can't get into Canada. The same way he can't get into America, but let me know down in the comments below. What do you think about the whole Djokovic situation? Do you feel bad for him? Do you think he should be allowed to play? So know about Djokovic, unable to play the US Open because he can't get into the country unless the rules change.
