Novak Djokovic, not vaccinated against Covid-19, is not eligible to participate in ATP Miami
Saturday’s news came from Miami, where Novak Djokovic will be ineligible for the Masters tournament at Hard Rock Stadium.
From now on, it is official: Nole will not play in Miami, American officials do not allow the Serb to enter the US. The reason is the same since Indian Wells: The Joker is not vaccinated against Covid-19.
Confirmation of the absence also came from Miami tournament director James Blake. The former player says he tried to get Djokovic fired, but all efforts ultimately failed.
Subsequently, Nole won in Miami six times: in 2007, 2011, 2012, 2014, 2015 and 2016.
The Miami Open will be held from March 22 to April 2 on hard, it is in the Masters category, it has a total prize pool of $8,800,000, and the titular champion is Carlos Alcaraz.
