Novak Djokovic confirms won't play in Indian Wells, Miami
Novak Djokovic on Wednesday confirmed his withdrawal from this month's ATP Masters tournaments in Indian Wells and Miami due to US government Covid-19 travel regulations. Djokovic, who is not vaccinated, said on Twitter that rules requiring non-US citizens to be vaccinated before entering the United States had forced his withdrawal. "I knew it would be unlikely I'd be able to travel," Serbian star Djokovic wrote. "The CDC (Centers for Disease Control) has confirmed that regulations won't be changing so I won't be able to play in the US. Good luck to those playing in these great tournaments." Djokovic's participation at the two prestigious US tournaments had been shrouded in uncertainty for weeks given the US travel restrictions.
