US Open 2022: Nadal vs. Medvedev, Djokovic controversy: Novak Djokovic has opted not to be vaccinated against COVID-19, the disease that causes the catastrophic illness CHERRY WILSON’
Rafael Nadal stated it was unfortunate news that Novak Djokovic won’t be playing the US Open this year, stating that a player of the Serbian’s caliber is crucial to the success of the hardcourt Grand Slam.
Djokovic refused to be vaccinated because he is scared to fly under the new conditions. Djokovic is scheduled to play in the US in September, during a time of year when flu and cold-like diseases are ramping up throughout society.
Nadal, the 20-time Grand Slam champion who is leading the men’s ranking of tennis, stated that it was very sad news that one of the best players in the history of tennis would not be able to play this tournament because he had injuries or because he did not have a visa to enter the United States. Nadal noted its important for tennis to have all of the best players represented at each Grand Slam.
Djokovic had his Australian Open tournament on ice due to the deportation of Djokovic for his vaccination status for Australia. Nadal said it was hard for everyone battling to see the world’s best compete at mega tournaments like the Australian Open.
However, Cahill criticized the sport as bigger than any player. There is an ongoing tournament, which has been rough on Cahill.
It’s not been a good news for everyone, but history continues. No one can take away the achievements that Novak Djokovic has achieved in his career. Without a doubt, he is one of the most important players in tennis history. Daniil Medvedev feels sorry that he could not play me in the U.S Open final either and Roger Federer didn’t even bother with it.
The Russian lifted the most prestigious trophy in sports, a hard fought victory that shocked the world. He said, I really wish we had Federer or Djokovic here, who have been our champions for so many years.
Djokovic is no longer playing tennis professionally, and the rivalry between him and Nadal may be heating up in a way. After Djokovic won twenty-two Grand Slams, 21, it seems like an embarrassing number to many. It would be a great story of Mexican-American government rules not allowing him come to the U.S., thus one of the true sporting stories of our times.
Medvedev tried something big in New York and worked well with his team, but suffered an early exit in Montreal. He reached the semi-finals at Cincinnati, where he often thrives. His hunger for a second major title is still as fierce as ever after losing to Nadal in the Australian Open final. The five-foot eight inch Russian said he feels confident about his current game.
