Unvaccinated Novak Djokovic Officially Out Of Montreal ATP Event
Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic, whose refusal to be vaccinated against Covid makes him unable to enter Canada, has officially withdrawn from the ATP hardcourt tournament in Montreal, organizers said Thursday. The Serb star's unvaccinated status made it unlikely he would play in the prestigious ATP Masters tournament, just as it means he will probably miss the US Open starting later in August as the United States also requires visitors to the country to show proof of vaccination. Montreal Masters tournament director Eugene Lepierre had said earlier this month he did not expect Djokovic to play.
