"I need as many Rafole free tournaments as possible" - Tennis fans react to Novak Djokovic awaiting verdict on Indian Wells & Miami participation

Tennis fans across the world have reacted to Novak Djokovic's possible exclusion from the 2023 Indian Wells and Miami Masters. Djokovic is likely to miss this year's ATP 1000 events at Indian Wells and Miami, as he is unvaccinated against COVID-19. He recently discussed his involvement in the upcoming Indian Wells Masters tournament after defeating Hubert Hurkacz to advance to the semifinals of the Dubai Tennis Championships.The United States has eased restrictions for unvaccinated foreign nationals entering the country, but this rule will not take effect until April 10, while Indian Wells begins on March 8.During his post-match press conference, Djokovic expressed hope that any rule changes or relaxations that would enable him to compete would be made in time, but if not, he would have to reluctantly withdraw.Tennis fans around the world responded with a variety of reactions to the news. While some were deeply disappointed, others were eager for the tournaments to continue without any disruption. Taking to Twitter, one fan commented that they would be happy if the tournaments were free of Rafael Nadal and the Serb.&quot;Sorry to him and yeah it doesn’t make sense at this point but i need as many rafole free tournaments as possible and he isn’t ruining this for me ❌,&quot; they wrote.supreme leader of glorious norrienation@rogerchokerersorry to him and yeah it doesn’t make sense at this point but i need as many rafole free tournaments as possible and he isn’t ruining this for me twitter.com/reemabulleil/s…Reem Abulleil@ReemAbulleilNovak Djokovic is still waiting to hear news on whether he will be allowed entry into the US to play Indian Wells and Miami: “Whatever the decision is before the draw, if I'm not allowed, I'm going to pull out, of course, before the draw.”151Novak Djokovic is still waiting to hear news on whether he will be allowed entry into the US to play Indian Wells and Miami: “Whatever the decision is before the draw, if I'm not allowed, I'm going to pull out, of course, before the draw.”sorry to him and yeah it doesn’t make sense at this point but i need as many rafole free tournaments as possible and he isn’t ruining this for me ❌ twitter.com/reemabulleil/s…Another fan urged US President Joe Biden to let the World No. 1 play.&quot;Let the GOAT play @JoeBiden,&quot; they commented.Le5-6@deepyy_Let the GOAT play @JoeBiden twitter.com/reemabulleil/s…Reem Abulleil@ReemAbulleilNovak Djokovic is still waiting to hear news on whether he will be allowed entry into the US to play Indian Wells and Miami: “Whatever the decision is before the draw, if I'm not allowed, I'm going to pull out, of course, before the draw.”212Novak Djokovic is still waiting to hear news on whether he will be allowed entry into the US to play Indian Wells and Miami: “Whatever the decision is before the draw, if I'm not allowed, I'm going to pull out, of course, before the draw.”Let the GOAT play @JoeBiden twitter.com/reemabulleil/s…Here are a few more reactions from fans:viv!!@taylrfritzhope he can’t play indian wells so taylor can be free and then idc abt miami twitter.com/reemabulleil/s…Reem Abulleil@ReemAbulleilNovak Djokovic is still waiting to hear news on whether he will be allowed entry into the US to play Indian Wells and Miami: “Whatever the decision is before the draw, if I'm not allowed, I'm going to pull out, of course, before the draw.”8612Novak Djokovic is still waiting to hear news on whether he will be allowed entry into the US to play Indian Wells and Miami: “Whatever the decision is before the draw, if I'm not allowed, I'm going to pull out, of course, before the draw.”hope he can’t play indian wells so taylor can be free and then idc abt miami twitter.com/reemabulleil/s…José Morgado@josemorgadoDecision expected in the next 2/3 days... twitter.com/ReemAbulleil/s…Reem Abulleil@ReemAbulleilNovak Djokovic is still waiting to hear news on whether he will be allowed entry into the US to play Indian Wells and Miami: “Whatever the decision is before the draw, if I'm not allowed, I'm going to pull out, of course, before the draw.”641Novak Djokovic is still waiting to hear news on whether he will be allowed entry into the US to play Indian Wells and Miami: “Whatever the decision is before the draw, if I'm not allowed, I'm going to pull out, of course, before the draw.”Decision expected in the next 2/3 days... twitter.com/ReemAbulleil/s…hika✨@hikar1_ycalifornia officially ended its covid emergency state yesterday.at this point any vaccine related travel restriction is a conformity test. twitter.com/reemabulleil/s…Reem Abulleil@ReemAbulleilNovak Djokovic is still waiting to hear news on whether he will be allowed entry into the US to play Indian Wells and Miami: “Whatever the decision is before the draw, if I'm not allowed, I'm going to pull out, of course, before the draw.”112Novak Djokovic is still waiting to hear news on whether he will be allowed entry into the US to play Indian Wells and Miami: “Whatever the decision is before the draw, if I'm not allowed, I'm going to pull out, of course, before the draw.”california officially ended its covid emergency state yesterday.at this point any vaccine related travel restriction is a conformity test. twitter.com/reemabulleil/s…Femi@sure_boiiiicba anymore.

He secured a convincing straight-sets victory against Marseille winner Hubert Hurkacz in his previous match.Medvedev, meanwhile, defeated Borna Coric for his 12th consecutive victory, having won the Rotterdam and Doha titles in the two weeks prior. He is now 17-2 on the season.Djokovic and Medvedev have had some great battles over the years. The Serb holds a commanding 9-4 head-to-head record, but Medvedev famously denied Djokovic a calendar Grand Slam in the 2021 US Open final. Friday's semifinal in Dubai promises to be another thrilling affair.
