When asked whether he's ready to miss tournaments due to his vaccination status, Djokovic said, "Yes, that is the price that I’m willing to pay."

There has been a lot of outburst over Djokovic not being allowed to play the US Open by politicians from the USA and fans over the world. So it will be interesting to see whether the Biden government will grant any exception to the Serbian maestro.
