John McEnroe on Novak Djokovic potentially missing US Open over COVID vax rules: 'I think it’s BS'

John McEnroe talked to Fox News Digital ahead of an LAFC soccer game in which he called the game with actor Will Ferrell.

As it rests currently, Novak Djokovic will be unable to compete in the U.S. Open because of the government’s COVID-19 vaccine requirements for foreign travelers.

It’s the same ruling that kept Djokovic out of the Citi Open, National Bank Open and the upcoming Western & Southern Open. Unvaccinated foreign citizens cannot go to Canada or the U.S. Even while Djokovic is holding out hope to be in the U.S. Open, the policy is something that didn’t sit right with tennis legend John McEnroe.

McEnroe made his stance clear following Djokovic’s win at Wimbledon earlier in the summer. He reiterated his views in an interview with Fox News Digital on Saturday as he was getting ready to call an LAFC match with Will Ferrell on behalf of Mixhalo.

"Well, first of all, I think it’s BS. That’s what I think. I think he should be allowed to play. My personal opinion, as I’ve been vaccinated, I had a booster shot, that’s up to the individual," McEnroe said. "If I were him, and I’m not him, he’s won a lot more majors than me probably because he’s dug in his heels and found the gear, that will, that very few people in any sport have ever found, so that’s part of what’s made him so great, he sticks to his guns. He’s perfectly entitled to make the decision.
