He missed the tournament in 2022 because of the vaccine requirement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, I have no regrets,\u201d Djokovic later told CNN about missing the U.S. Open. \u201cI\u2019ve learned through life that regrets only hold you back and basically make you live in the past. And I don\u2019t want to do that. I also don\u2019t want to live too much in the future. I want to be as much as in the present moment, but of course think about future, create a better future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Djokovic tried asking the U.S. government for special permission to play at Indian Wells and Miami in March but was rebuffed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a pity that I wasn\u2019t able to play in Indian Wells and Miami,\u201d he said. \u201cI love those tournaments. I had plenty of success there. But at the same time, it is the conscious decision I made and I knew that there is always a possibility that I won\u2019t go. And it is the current state or current situation that I hope will change for later this year for the U.S. Open. That is the most important tournament for me on the American soil.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Djokovic missed last year\u2019s Australian Open and was deported from the country because he refused to get the vaccine. He has won 22 Grand Slam singles titles and is currently tied with Rafael Nadal for the most in men\u2019s tennis history.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think some experiences are transferrable, not all of them, but I think character is,\u201d Djokovic has stated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Novak Djokovic, the world\u2019s No. 1 tennis player, will finally be able to compete again in the United States after the Biden White House announced Monday they were ending the requirement that all international travelers must be COVID-vaccinated to enter the U.S. \u201cWe are announcing that the Administration will end the COVID-19 vaccine requirements for<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":60,"featured_media":1923636,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[541],"tags":[3620,12345,5661,5527,4599,7238,3954],"class_list":["post-1923635","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-daily-wire","tag-biden","tag-djokovic","tag-lifts","tag-mandate","tag-play","tag-u-s","tag-vaccine"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1923635","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/60"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1923635"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1923635\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1923636"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1923635"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1923635"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1923635"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
