Djokovic won the Australian Open, Roland Garros and Wimbledon in 2021 but failed to defend his trophy at Melbourne Park this year after being kicked out of Australia ahead of the major due to his unvaccinated status.

The 35-year-old Serbian champion, who has won 21 Grand Slam titles in his career, was unable to travel to New York in August for the 2022 US Open for the same reason.

Novak Djokovic has no regrets, even though he was suspended from the Australian Open and the US Open

“I don’t regret anything. I’m sorry I couldn’t play, but I made this decision.

I knew what the consequences would be, so I accepted them. This is it. Waiting for news (not if he gets permission to travel to Australia in 2023).

It’s not up to me at this point. I hope to receive positive news soon” – Novak Djokovicreports Agerpres.

Since his success at Wimbledon, Novak Djokovic has not played a single match in the professional arena, and from July 2022 he cannot participate in North American tournaments on the ATP circuit.
