Former Number 1 ranked tennis champion Novak Djokovic has been denied access to play in upcoming tournaments in the United States due to the Biden Administration’s draconian travel restrictions on the unvaccinated.
Djokovic, despite being perhaps the best tennis player in the world, has not given in to the vaccine tyranny that he’s faced globally.
He was denied access to the Australian Open tournament back in January.
Now, he’s been denied access to the two tournaments set to take place in Florida and California.
Djokovic has remained steadfast in his commitment to standing for what is right, even if it hurts his career.

AP News has details on the latest hardship the 20-time Grand Slam has faced this year:
Novak Djokovic said that he will not be able to compete at the hard-court tennis tournaments in Indian Wells, California, or Miami because he is unvaccinated and can’t travel to the United States.
The 20-time Grand Slam champion tweeted Wednesday that the Centers for Disease Control “confirmed the regulations won’t be changing so I won’t be able to play in the U.S.”
Djokovic, who recently dropped to No. 2 in the ATP rankings, has played in only one tournament so far in 2022 because he has not received any shots to protect against COVID-19. He was deported from Australia in January and was not allowed to try to defend his title at Melbourne Park.

Djokovic confirmed he would miss the tournaments on Twitter:
While I was automatically listed in the @BNPPARIBASOPEN and @MiamiOpen draw I knew it would be unlikely I’d be able to travel. The CDC has confirmed that regulations won’t be changing so I won't be able to play in the US. Good luck to those playing in these great tournaments 👊

Biden is releasing undocumented unvaccinated immigrants under cover of darkness all over the country, but the former #1 ranked tennis player in the world with natural immunity is being refused admission.
Trust the science.https://t.co/YvJTuyM2Nn

The Biden Administration has allowed millions of undocumented and unvaccinated immigrants to enter the country in the dead of night for over a year, yet they won’t let Djokovic travel to the country, despite the fact that he has natural immunity.
Much like the leadership over in Australia, Biden and his followers are out of touch with reality.
The Gateway Pundit with more on the Biden Administration’s blatant disregard for fairness and consistency:
On Wednesday, the 20-time Grand Slam champion announced that he will not be able to compete at upcoming tennis tournaments in California and Florida because the Biden Administration will not allow him to travel to the United States due to his vaccination status.
Djokovic tweeted that the Centers for Disease Control made the final call, upholding a regulation that requires all foreign nationals to be vaccinated to receive a visa for entry into the US…
… That is, of course, only if you aren’t illegally sneaking across the southern border, because then, vax status doesn’t matter one bit.

Even though 45% of people living in the US are also unvaccinated.

You have to respect a man willing to sacrifice wealth and status for his beliefs.
Despite the world acting insane, there are still those who stand with Djokovic for his bravery:
This has NOTHING to do with health.
Just control.
And you are showing yourself to be a good, true man who will not be controlled by these corrupt money makers.— Tonia Buxton (@ToniaBuxton) March 10, 2022
Sad, sad times. "Freedom" in this world is only given to those who blindly follow those who decide who is free and who is not, without ever questioning them. I stand with you, @DjokerNole; truly and respectfully admire your determination & clarity of mind. See u at @rolandgarros! https://t.co/tVp44OjrF6
