He said in a tweet, “I’m out with covid. I was just in the states and it didn’t really feel like too many were following any recommendations or guidelines there. Which is fine, but therefore I can’t see then why @DjokerNole can’t come and compete.”

Many renowned politicians and sports personalities are protesting against the Joe Biden administration with the demand being that the 35-year-old should be allowed to play the US Open. A few days ago, Former US President John F. Kennedy‘s nephew, Robert F. Kennedy Jr supported the Serb by sharing an article about the US government’s absurd policies which prevent the Serb from entering the region.

An American attorney also asked Joe Biden‘s administration to issue a ‘National Interest Exemption’ in support of Novak Djokovic and other players to enter the USA and compete in the US Open for the tournament’s reputation.
