Novak Djokovic will not be able to enter the United States without a vaccine against the coronavirus, so he will miss the Miami Masters 1.000, tournament director James Blake said this Saturday.
“We are one of the best tournaments in the world and we would like the best players to be able to compete. We did everything we could. We tried to talk to the government, but there's nothing we can do," Blake said.
The Miami tournament will be held from March 19 to April 2, at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.

Djokovic is on the list of previous entries, but his participation was up in the air due to US regulations that require non-citizens and non-residents to present a certificate of vaccination against the coronavirus.
The Serb does not meet this requirement due to his refusal to get vaccinated, something that has already prevented him from competing in US tournaments last year, including the US Open.
