Stolen Time

Serbian tennis star and world No. 1 Novak Đoković will be able to play at this year’s U.S. Open after the U.S. government announced that “the Administration will end the COVID-19 vaccine requirements for Federal employees, Federal contractors, and international air travellers at the end of the day on May 11”. The 22-time Grand Slam Champion had to miss last year’s tournament, as well as the Miami Open and the Indian Wells Masters, because of his unvaccinated status.

Behold a King

CNN anchor Becky Anderson asked Serbian tennis star Novak Đoković if he regrets not getting vaccinated against COVID-19, which caused him not to be allowed to enter the United States and play the 38th Miami Open. “No, I have no regrets”, the 22-time Grand Slam Champion answered. “I’ve learned through life that regrets only hold you back and basically make you live in the past and I don’t want to do that”.

Curse of the King

In an anti-climactic decision, the U.S. administration denied Serbian tennis star and world No. 1 Novak Đoković entry to the United States because he is unvaccinated against COVID-19, thus preventing him from playing the 38th Miami Open next week. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis vainly called on U.S. President Joe Biden to drop the COVID-19 vaccination requirement for foreign travelers, so as to permit the 22-time Grand Slam Champion to enter the country.

A King’s Lesson

The triumph of Serbian tennis star Novak Đoković at this year’s Australian Open in Melbourne is a sort of sweet vengeance for an offended gentleman. “I have to say this has been one of the most challenging tournaments I have ever played in my life considering the circumstances, not playing last year, coming back this year”, said Đoković. “I try to pinch myself and really live through these moments. It’s a long journey. Only the team and the family knows what we have been through in the last four or five weeks. I would say this is probably the biggest victory of my life, considering those circumstances”. Photo: Manan Vatsyayana/AFP via Getty Images.
