In 2022, he was denied entry \u2062into \u2064the United States\u200d for the US Open because international travelers were\u200b required to show proof \u200cof COVID vaccination. \u200cEarlier this \u200byear, Djokovic \u200chad to withdraw from the Indian Wells \u2063tournament in California after his COVID vaccine waiver request was denied by the Department\u200c of Homeland Security.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Despite these challenges, Djokovic expressed his excitement upon returning \u200cto the US \u2062Open,\u200b stating, &#8220;The \u2064reason why \u2062I was not here for two years, I have zero regret\u2063 on \u200cthat.\u200d I&#8217;m just glad to\u2063 be back.&#8221; \u2064He\u200d emphasized his previous \u200dsuccesses on American soil and \u2064his\u2063 enthusiasm for the \u200btournament.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Rodgers&#8217; \u200dVaccine Controversy<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Aaron\u2064 Rodgers has also faced scrutiny \u200bfor his stance on the COVID vaccine.
