Ion Cyriak believes that the Serb made a mistake by deciding not to vaccinate

The businessman said that Djokovic had to be vaccinated to protect those around him, and believes that the US authorities should not make an exception for the Serb.

“At the moment, Djokovic is a syndrome! Poor thing, he doesn’t know how to get out, where he came from. Now he cannot afford to break his word. He, Djokovic, the number one in the world, who is fighting for the title of the best of all time… Djokovic, with this mistake, sir, not so much for the vaccine, but for the idea that you have, an idea that in my opinion is wrong from A to I!

It’s not about you, Djokovic, it’s about what you do around you. If you don’t do it for yourself, do it for others around you. He also had the experience of the tour you did (without the Adria Tour, in 2020) which turned out to be a disaster.

In my opinion, the Americans will not make an exception, because they cannot make an exception. And loses a whole year. He won Wimbledon the way he won, may he be healthy, without Nadal, who couldn’t make it, without Zverev, who, in my opinion, will stay the whole year, without the Russian, Medvedev” – Ion Syriacin an interview with Gazeta Sporturilor.

Novak Djokovic is waiting for news from New York in the next ten days. As for the US Open, for players without a vaccination certificate, the organizers previously announced, in accordance with Grand Slam rules, that all eligible players enter the main draw according to their ranking 42 days before the first Monday of the tournament.

US Open organizers also said that unless there is a valid vaccination certificate for players, they will respect the US government’s position on travel to the country for unvaccinated non-US citizens.

In this season, the Serbian won 23 matches (won in Rome and Wimbledon) and suffered 5 defeats.

From August 29 to September 11, the last Grand Slam tournament of the year, the US Open, will be held.
