Former World No. 1 John McEnroe recently criticized the US vaccination laws and demanded their modification so Novak Djokovic could compete.The Serb won the seventh Wimbledon championship of his career on Sunday after defeating Nick Kyrgios, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 7-6(3), but it does not appear that he will carry that enthusiasm into the fourth and final Grand Slam of the year. After the victory, Djokovic, who is unvaccinated, said he will not take the COVID-19 vaccine in time for the US Open in September.This implies that Novak Djokovic won't participate at the 2022 US Open unless the regulations put in place by the American government are changed before the end of August.John McEnroe vouched for Djokovic to compete in the US Open and slammed the politicians for getting in the way."These politicians are getting in the way too much – they did it in Australia." McEnroe said. "Let the guy come in and play in the US. I mean come on. This is ridiculous. You can agree to be tested. There’s got to be a way around this."Luigi Gatto@gigicat7_John McEnroe on Djokovic not being allowed to play in the United States: "These politicians are getting in the way too much.

Let’s let the guy come in and play in the U.S. I mean, come on. This is ridiculous."In light of McEnroe's comments, tennis fans on Twitter slammed the Serb for not getting vaccinated. Some of them also labeled his actions as "not heroic" and utterly "irresponsible"."Novak Djokovic should follow the rules set by the various countries pertaining to Covid. He may not like the rules, but they aren't irrational. And his refusal to get vaccinated isn't heroic, it's irresponsible," one fan wrote.Brusabhanu Nayak@brusabhanu1@gigicat7_ John McEnroe is ridiculous.

It's 'he' the main reason for him not able to play the US open. He takes a decision which has consequences, so he has to face them. Stop making him victim," another account posted.specialsmiley@Ianto_back2_TW@gigicat7_ I love @JohnMcEnroe and he is completely wrong here.

Just because you DGAF doesn’t mean the families of the MILLIONS of dead don’t. SOME vaccinated people will still die, but the point of vaccination is to reduce the chances of dying, which it does very effectively," another user wrote.Also Checkout:- John McEnroe net worthWemo@Wemo63398963@gigicat7_ No mister, they are reasons for tge requirements and millions had followed the rules flighting to , if that’s the rule by then he has to follow it, simple1122@gigicat7_ No mister, they are reasons for tge requirements and millions had followed the rules flighting to 🇺🇸, if that’s the rule by then he has to follow it, simpleJon Kennaugh@jonkennaugh@gigicat7_ It would be ridiculous to make one person exempt from rules that everyone else has to follow, whatever you think of the rules.1482@gigicat7_ It would be ridiculous to make one person exempt from rules that everyone else has to follow, whatever you think of the rules.Chequeinblank@dan_ulmer1@gigicat7_ The laws were not designed with tennis players in mind or star tennis players.

Making an exception for one guy to come play tennis would be allowing the politicians to “get in the way.” Djokovic is a tennis player. That’s all. He doesn’t deserve an exception," another fan tweeted.CM T@cmt2160@gigicat7_ That rule has been in place for a while. Nothing to do with tennis. There should be no special exemption.

"So the only good news I can have is them removing the mandated green vaccine card or whatever you call it to enter United States or exemption.""I don't think exemption is realistically possible. If that is possibility, I don't know what exemption would be about. I don't know.
