The high likelihood of Novak Djokovic missing the 2022 US Open has drawn varied reactions from the tennis world. Djokovic's chances of playing in the Grand Slam tournament took a huge hit after the US Government recently announced that they would continue to ban non-vaccinated international travelers from entering the country.Tennis fans have reacted to the development on social media and many have expressed sadness, since they wished to see the 20-time Major champion play in the event.One such fan highlighted that it is unfair for Djokovic to miss out while Tennys Sandgren, who is also unvaccinated, can play."Sandgren is unvaccinated but CAN play the US Open 'cause he's an American— Djokovic is also unvaccinated but CANNOT play the US Open 'cause he's not an American. Covid has made the so-called experts lose common sense, as there's nothing science about this but full blown INSANITY," the fan wrote on Twiiter.Afriyie 🐺@theafriyie_Sandgren is unvaccinated but CAN play the @usopen 'cause he's an American— Djokovic is also unvaccinated but CANNOT play the US Open 'cause he's not an AmericanCovid has made the so-called experts lose common sense, as there's nothing science about this but full blown INSANITY16528Sandgren is unvaccinated but CAN play the @usopen 'cause he's an American— Djokovic is also unvaccinated but CANNOT play the US Open 'cause he's not an AmericanCovid has made the so-called experts lose common sense, as there's nothing science about this but full blown INSANITYTennys Sandgren@TennysSandgrenPretty shameful that the USTA won’t fight for an exemption for NovakNo surprise the government hasn’t changed it’s archaic policyI can play but he can’t?

However, the requirement for a 'full vaccination status' still stands.Ryan 🇺🇸👨‍👩‍👧‍👦☠️🐺🍊@krashafamily@usopen How dare you keep @DjokerNole out of the US Open? We have hundreds of thousands of unvaccinated illegal immigrants flowing across the border and you won’t let a super healthy athlete play?

He endangers no one by not doing so, & is not a public health danger merely because he is unvaxxed. Therefore, the decision to prevent him from traveling here to play the US Open is unfounded & arbitrary.@amkherenow @DjokerNole So what? That doesn't mean Djokovic must take a vax.

As per one view on social media, Djokovic will now have added motivation to win Wimbledon.Pamela Maldonado@pamelam35Oh boy.

If the Serb goes on to miss the US Open, he will lose another big chunk of points that he won by reaching the final in 2021.Additionally, he will also lose an opportunity to close the gap on Rafael Nadal in the all-time Grand Slam title race. The Serb, currently with 20 Major titles, is chasing Nadal, who leads the race with 22 Majors to his name. Wimbledon will thus be a crucial tournament for the Serbian player.His inability to enter the US would also lead to him missing the Cincinnati Masters, the last tournament before the US Open. The former World No. 1 currently holds the most ATP Masters 1000 titles in history (38) and will lose an opportunity to further extend that lead at the Western and Southern Open in Cincinnati, an event he has won twice.
