‘If I can’t go, I can’t go’: Djokovic accepts missing US events over vaccine requirements – video

Novak Djokovic said he will have no choice but to miss tournaments in the US after authorities said non-nationals will need to have had Covid-19 vaccinations to enter the country. The US Transportation Security Administration said the requirement for foreign air travellers to be fully vaccinated against the disease would be in place until 10 April, meaning Djokovic would miss the hard-court tournament in Indian Wells as well as the Miami Open. Djokovic said he does not believe the decision is official but added: “What can I do? Nothing, that’s it. You know my position. It is what it is. I’m hoping [to participate], but if I can’t go, I can’t go.”
