Los Angeles: Usaha Novak Djokovic untuk masuk ke Amerika Syarikat bagi menyertai acara ATP di Indian Wells dan Miami mendapat sokongan daripada Persatuan Tenis Amerika Syarikat (USTA) dan penganjur Terbuka Amerika Syarikat AS.

Bintang tenis Serbia itu dihalang daripada memasuki AS kerana dia tidak diberi vaksin Covid-19, tetapi memohon pihak berkuasa AS untuk kebenaran khas untuk masuk ke negara berkenaan.

Twitter Terbuka AS memaparkan mengatakan badan induk tenis AS berharap Djokovic akan dibenarkan masuk.

"Novak Djokovic adalah salah satu juara terhebat yang pernah kami lihat dalam sukan tenis.






"USTA dan Terbuka AS berharap Novak berjaya dalam petisyennya untuk memasuki negara ini, dan peminat akan dapat melihatnya kembali beraksi di Indian Wells dan Miami," kata penganjur Terbuka AS.

AS masih tidak membenarkan pelancong antarabangsa yang tidak divaksin memasuki negara itu, dengan Pentadbiran Keselamatan Pengangkutan baru-baru ini menunjukkan dasar itu tidak akan berubah sehingga sekurang-kurangnya pertengahan April.

Djokovic kembali ke Australia pada Januari, memenangi Terbuka Australia 2023 untuk gelaran perseorangan Grand Slam ke-22 yang menyamai rekod terbanyak dicatatkan Rafael Nadal.

Dia mencatatkan kemenangan berturut-turut kepada 20 perlawanan di Dubai minggu ini sebelum tumbang kepada Daniil Medvedev di separuh akhir awal pagi tadi.

Los Angeles: Novak Djokovic menarik diri daripada kejohanan Indian Wells, kata penganjur sekali gus memberi petunjuk permohonan pemain nombor satu dunia itu untuk pengecualian vaksin Covid-19 bagi memasuki Amerika Syarikat (AS) mungkin gagal.

Pemain Serbia itu, salah seorang atlet paling berprofil tinggi yang tidak mengambil vaksin berkenaan, memohon kepada kerajaan AS bulan lalu untuk mendapatkan kebenaran khas beraksi di ATP Masters di Indian Wells dan Miami.

"Pemain nombor satu dunia, Novak Djokovic telah menarik diri daripada Terbuka BNP Paribas 2023.
"Dengan penarikan dirinya, Nikoloz Basilashvili akan diberi peluang beraksi," kata penganjur dalam satu kenyataan, hari ini.

AS pada masa ini melarang warga asing yang tidak divaksin daripada masuk ke negara itu, satu dasar yang dijangka ditarik semula apabila kerajaan menamatkan pengisytiharan kecemasan Covid-19 pada 11 Mei depan.






Djokovic tidak beraksi di saingan ATP Masters di Indian Wells dan Miami, dua kejohanan terbesar dalam kalendar ATP sejak 2019.

Tiada mana-mana wakil daripada pasukan Djokovic dapat memberi reaksi segera berhubung penarikan dirinya itu.

LONDON: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has called on U.S. President Joe Biden to allow Novak Djokovic to compete at this month's Miami Open despite the world number one being unvaccinated for Covid-19.

Djokovic, one of the most high-profile athletes unvaccinated against the virus, applied to the U.S. government last month for special permission to play at ATP Masters events Indian Wells, which begins today, and the March 19-April 2 Miami Open.

The Serbian, 35, formally withdrew from Indian Wells on Sunday. Florida Senator Rick Scott said that U.S. officials had denied Djokovic's request.

"This denial is unfair, unscientific and unacceptable," DeSantis wrote in a letter to Biden on Tuesday.



"I urge you to reconsider. It's time to put pandemic politics aside and give the American people what they want - let him play."

Republican DeSantis signed a law in November 2021 banning schools, businesses and government entities from requiring vaccination against Covid-19, drawing condemnation from health experts and Democratic leaders.

The U.S. currently bars unvaccinated foreigners from entry into the country, a policy that is expected to be lifted when the government ends its Covid-19 emergency declarations on May 11.

Djokovic, who missed last year's Australian Open after being deported from that country due to his vaccination status, has said he would skip Grand Slams rather than have a Covid shot.

He won his record-tying 22nd Grand Slam at the Australian Open in January. He has not played at Indian Wells or the Miami Open - which together comprise the "Sunshine Double" - since 2019.

Last week, Scott and fellow Republican Senator Marco Rubio of Florida also wrote to Biden urging him to grant the waiver request.

Indian Wells tournament director Tommy Haas, the United States Tennis Association and the U.S. Open were among those also hoping Djokovic would be allowed to enter.
"The only thing keeping Mr Djokovic from participating in this tournament is your administration's continued enforcement of a misguided, unscientific, and out-of-date Covid-19 vaccination requirement for foreign guests," DeSantis said. - Reuters

MIAMI: Novak Djokovic will miss next week’s Miami Open after the Serbian was denied an exemption that would have allowed him to enter the US despite not being vaccinated against Covid-19, tournament director James Blake said on Friday.

“We tried to get Novak Djokovic to be allowed to get an exemption, but that wasn’t able to happen,” Blake told Tennis Channel.



“Obviously, we’re one of the premier tournaments in the world, we’d like to have the best players that can play. We did all that we could. We tried to talk to the government, but that’s out of our hands.”

Florida governor Ron DeSantis and the state’s two US senators were among those calling on the Biden administration to allow world No 1 Djokovic to enter the US and compete at the tournament he has won six times.

Djokovic, 35, is also missing the ongoing Masters event in Indian Wells, California due to inability to secure the exemption.


The US currently bars unvaccinated foreigners from entry into the country, a policy that is expected to be lifted when the government ends its Covid-19 emergency declarations on May 11.

Djokovic, who missed last year’s Australian Open after being deported from that country due to his vaccination status, has said he would skip Grand Slams rather than have a Covid shot.

He won his record-tying 22nd Grand Slam at the Australian Open in January.

He has not played at Indian Wells or the Miami Open — which together comprise the “Sunshine Double” — since 2019.

Djokovic tidak dibenarkan beraksi di Terbuka Miami​

Miami: Novak Djokovic akan terlepas kejohanan Terbuka Miami minggu depan selepas pemain Serbia itu dinafikan pengecualian yang membolehkannya memasuki AS walaupun tidak diberi vaksin Covid-19 kata pengarah kejohanan James Blake.

"Kami cuba mendapatkan pengecualian untuk Djokovic tetapi itu tidak dapat berlaku," kata Blake kepada Tennis Channel.

"Kami menganjurkan satu kejohanan utama di dunia, kami ingin mempunyai pemain terbaik yang boleh beraksi. Kami melakukan semua yang kami mampu. Kami cuba bercakap dengan kerajaan, tetapi itu di luar kuasa kami."

Gabenor Florida Ron DeSantis dan dua senator AS di negara itu adalah antara yang menggesa pentadbiran Biden membenarkan pemain nombor satu dunia Djokovic memasuki AS dan bersaing di kejohanan yang dimenanginya sebanyak enam kali.

Djokovic, 35, juga terlepas acara Masters yang sedang berlangsung di Indian Wells, California kerana tidak mendapat pengecualian dari Amerika Syarikat yang melarang warga asing yang tidak divaksin daripada masuk ke negara itu, satu dasar yang dijangka ditarik balik apabila kerajaan menamatkan pengisytiharan kecemasan Covid-19 pada 11 Mei ini.



Djokovic turut terlepas Terbuka Australia tahun lalu selepas diusir dari negara itu kerana status vaksinasinya, berkata dia sanggup melepaskan Grand Slam daripada mendapat suntikan Covid.

Dia memenangi Grand Slam ke-22 di Terbuka Australia pada Januari dan tidak pernah bermain di Indian Wells atau Terbuka Miami - yang dikenali "Sunshine Double" sejak 2019.
