0:21Now PlayingTennis star Novak Djokovic’s participation in the US Open championships was scuttled by one of just a few remaining Covid-era rules in the country: a vaccination requirement for international travelers.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention upheld its vaccine policy despite criticism from tennis fans and others who argue that the rules are inconsistent. There’s no vaccine mandate for US players or fans who want to attend the tournament, which starts next week in New York.
The unvaccinated Djokovic confirmed Thursday that he won’t compete in the year’s fourth and final Grand Slam event, saying on Twitter that he’ll “keep in good shape and positive spirit and wait for an opportunity to compete again.”
