A massive and familiar problem is threatening to shake Novak Djokovic again. 😬 9WWOS
Djokovic will compete at Wimbledon but, in a blow to the 35-year-old, US border rules still require proof of vaccination.
Sherr said athletes from Russia and Belarus would play at Flushing Meadows under a neutral flag – an arrangement that’s been used at various tennis tournaments around the world, including Roland-Garros. The ATP and WTA in May both said they would not award any rankings points for Wimbledon this year, an unprecedented rebuke of the All England Club.
Sherr told the AP that what happened with Wimbledon – both the All England Club's move to keep players from certain countries out and the tours' reaction – played no role in the USTA’s choice to let Russian and Belarusian players in.
