It has been confirmed that the Serb will not play in New York
The US Open has released a statement describing it as "unfortunate" that Serbian star Novak Djokovic will be absent from the 2022 edition of the Grand Slam event in New York.
Djokovic was unable to defend his Australian Open title earlier this year after falling foul of the country's Covid-19 protocols due to his unvaccinated status, but had held out hope that he may be granted a reprieve to take part in the final Grand Slam event of the year at Flushing Meadows – the main draw for which gets underway on Monday.
However, the Serb wrote on social media on Thursday that he will again be absent from one of the sport's premiere tournaments, saying: “Sadly, I will not be able to travel to NY this time for US Open.
Sadly, I will not be able to travel to NY this time for US Open. Thank you #NoleFam for your messages of love and support. ❤️ Good luck to my fellow players! I’ll keep in good shape and positive spirit and wait for an opportunity to compete again.
