Djokovic is still on the list of players competing at the organizers' Miami Open. However, the possibility of the owner of 22 Grand Slam can play at the second Masters 1000 this year is not really high.
Reason: The 35-year-old tennis player has not been vaccinated against Covid-19, so he is not allowed to enter the United States. The government only abandoned the entry ban on tourists who have not been vaccinated since May 2023.
Despite that, Novak Djokovic has not given up hope to attend Miami Open 2023. This was revealed by coach Goran Ivanisevic in a recent interview with Majors Tennis.
“We haven't given up. Djokovic wants to play (at Miami Open) and I am really happy if they allow them. It is especially great for both him and tennis.
If Djokovic could not attend, it was not the end of the world. He also did not play here last year. Most importantly, we know the information early to have a solution, ”Mr. Ivanisevic said.
Also because of not vaccinating against Covid-19, Djokovic missed an appointment with Indian Wells Masters-the tournament is taking place. Miami Open 2023 started on March 21, just one day after Indian Wells closed.
Miami Open has been held since 1985 and Novak Djkovic is the most successful player. He had 6 men's singles champions, the last time was in 2016 after defeating Kei Nishikori in the final. The only legendary Andrre Agassi (6 championships) is comparable to Nole's achievement at this Masters 1000.
