Novak Djokovic will be allowed to compete at US Open 2023 after president Joe Biden's administration altered the country's laws in regards to COVID-19 vaccination. The world No.1 was unable to play at last year's tournament at Flushing Meadows and the Australian Open because he wasn't vaccinated against the virus.

Novak Djokovic will be allowed to play at the 2023 U.S. Open as the federal government will lift the COVID vaccine requirement for foreign air travelers.

Tennis star Novak Djokovic will be able to participate in the 2023 US Open as the federal government's COVID-19 vaccination mandate for foreign air travelers is set to end May 11. The Serbian athlete missed last year's competition in Queens, N.Y. due to his vaccination status.

Novak Djokovic’s path to compete at the US Open later this year has been cleared after the United States Senate voted to bring an end the country’s Covid-19 emergency measures. The 22-time Grand Slam winner has not set foot on American soil for an official tennis tournament since he lost in the 2021 US Open final against Daniil Medvedev.
