"Even if Novak Djokovic is not playing, he’s the winner" - Serb's fans hijack a US Open-winner prediction post

Novak Djokovic and his fans are anxiously awaiting a decision on whether the Serb will be allowed to enter the country and play at the upcoming US Open or not.Sports network Eurosport recently put out a tweet with a graphic of 10 male players and asked fans to predict the winner of the 2022 US Open. Djokovic's fans were unimpressed with the star's omission, given that he hasn't officially withdrawn from the tournament yet.The 10 players in the graphic were Daniil Medvedev, Carlos Alcaraz, Rafael Nadal, Alexander Zverev, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Jannik Sinner, Felix Auger-Aliassime, Matteo Berrettini, Taylor Fritz, and Nick Kyrgios. The last Grand Slam event of the year begins in six days at Flushing Meadows in New York's Queens borough.&quot;Novak Djokovic is still in the @usopen draw.

Using the rivalry between Novak Djokovic and Nick Kyrgios, the Brit stated that when on the field, athletes give it all that they have, but as soon as they are off it, there is mutual respect between opponents.&quot;You've got to separate the two — the on-field competition and off it,&quot; Stokes said. &quot;Sport produces amazing contests not only between teams but you also have those battles and contests between individuals. But at the end of the day, there is always respect between oppositions, between individuals. Just an example – you look at Djokovic and Nick Kyrgios. They have obviously had a huge rivalry but still at the end of the day, there is always that respect there between the two professional athletes.&quot;Last month, Stokes shocked the cricket world by announcing his retirement from the ODI format. He is currently the captain of England's Test side.
