About 6,000 people have signed a petition asking the U.S. Tennis Association to help Novak Djokovic play at this year's U.S. Open.

Serbia Novosti newspaper reported that the application was signed by 5,765 people on the "Change.org" website with the title "Let Novak Djokovic play the US expansion". The fans requested the US Government and Tennis Association (USTA) to agree to change the entry policy with not vaccinated athletes.

According to the current regulations of the US government, Djokovic cannot enter because there is no vaccine passport. "During this period of the pandemic, there is no reason to prohibit Djokovic from playing American expansion. If the players have not been injected, Djokovic will become the greatest legend. Change the situation ", the petition has paragraphs.

Usta last month said they had no intention of interfering in the Government's entry policy to pave the way for any player who lacks a vaccine passport played in the US to expand in August. Foreigners entering the US are required to prove that they have been vaccinated, with negative test results for 48 hours.

Djokovic earlier this year missed two Masters 1000 in Indian Wells and Miami because they were not vaccinated. The 35 -year -old player had previously been expelled from Australia in January, and a three -year -old hot sentence. In the worst case, Djokovic will be absent in two continuous Grand Slam after Wimbledon.

If it is impossible to protect 1,200 points from the US expansion position last year, Djokovic can turn on the top 8 ATP and almost certainly not enough to attend the ATP Finals. Djokovic will be deducted 2,000 points for winning Wimbledon last year in the middle of July. Grand Slam Grass this year was not ATP for calculating points because of the ban on Russian and Belarus players.

The US opened from August 29 to September 11. Djokovic usually plays in the previous two Masters 1000 in Cincinnati and Montreal. If not vaccinated, Serbian player certainly missed both of these events because of the similar Canadian entry rules.
