Over the past month, the 2022 Wimbledon champion has received a lot of support from people around the world. Former World No. 1 and seven-time Grand Slam winner John McEnroe has once again come forward to criticize the US government.
Advocating that Djokovic should be allowed to play, the American told news portal Outkick that it’s an individual’s choice whether to take the vaccine or not.
McEnroe further praised the Serb, calling him “one of the greatest athletes in any sport.” The ace commentator added that it is “really unfortunate” to have such rules in place that won’t allow the Serb entry into the country.

Novak Djokovic could be allowed to enter the US after CDC’s change in rules
In June, the US government released a set of rules and regulations, which stated that in order to enter the United States, foreign travelers will be required to show proof of double vaccination. This meant that Djokovic, who had clearly refused to get the jab, was out for the entire US Open swing. Canada also has the same rules in place at the moment.
However, the national public health agency of the United States — the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) — recently announced relaxation in guidelines. It suggests that both vaccinated and unvaccinated people are likely to catch and spread the coronavirus and hence, should be treated equally.
Following the news, Novak Djokovic could hope that he is allowed to arrive in New York before the last Grand Slam of the year begins on August 29.
