The soap opera of his entry into Australia was intense and no less bizarre is that of the American tour. The decision of Novak Djokovic not getting vaccinated is having consequences on your sports career and the truth is that everything indicates that he will not be able to play the US Open.
In the absence of a final confirmation on the tournaments in the United States, the Serbian has already dropped out of the Montreal Masters 1000, in Canada. The world number 6 is not on the list of participants for next week’s tournament and hopefully he won’t be in Cincinnati or Flushing Meadows either.
The impact it will have for Djokovic in the ATP ranking

The Serbian started 2022 as number one in the world in a comfortable way after winning three Grand Slams and being a finalist in the fourth last year. However, this year he is not being able to defend a good part of the points: He automatically lost the 2,000 in Australia, was defeated in the Roland Garros quarters at Nadal and his title at Wimbledon did not work because the ATP decided that no points were awarded due to the exclusion of Russian tennis players. So Nole was left without the 2,000 units he was defending.
The withdrawal in Canada at the moment will not subtract points, since last year he did not play that tournament. He also did not participate in Cincinnati. However, the Serbian will lose the 1,200 of his runner-up in New York, which could knock him out of the top 8 depending on the results of their pursuers.
