As per the current rules in the United States of America, foreign travelers are required to be double vaccinated in order to enter the country. The Serb has stated numerous times that he has no plans to get the vaccine, hence making it impossible for him to travel to New York and participate in the year’s final Grand Slam.
He took to social media to announce his withdrawal.
Among those who criticized Novak Djokovic for his anti-vaccination attitude was American author Pete Bodo, who claimed that the Serb and his fans don’t understand what he termed a “simple process” and called Djokovic’s stance on vaccinations “holisitc.”
Tennis enthusiasts on Twitter slammed the author for his remarks. One of them asked him straight up about his issues since Djokovic wasn’t showing up to play anyway.
Another user thought Bodo should leave Djokovic alone.
Another account claimed that the American author and the well-known journalist Christopher Clarey are taking their line of work to new lows.
Here are a few more fan reactions:
