Serbian tennis star Novak Djokovic is among the best in-game today. With 21 Grand Slam titles, he sits in the second spot on the most Grand Slam titles list. The 35-year-old had a mixed year so far.

While the Serb couldn’t participate in the Australian Open, he lost to Rafael Nadal in the French Open quarterfinal. He returned in style and claimed his fourth consecutive Wimbledon championship title. However, his stand against vaccination came in the way of his US Open participation.

While there’s hardly anything left for the 35-year-old to achieve on the tennis court, he will certainly rue his chance to feature in a Hollywood film. While the Serb shot for a scene in a film, it was removed in the final cut. The scene later went viral on the internet.

Djokovic withdraws from the US Open 2022

For a long time, there was a debate about the chances of Djokovic getting to play in the US Open. Many of his fans, as well as a few from the tennis fraternity, requested the US government to allow the same. However, with no signs of the rule change, Djokovic finally announced that he is going to miss the US Open.

Notably, a few days ago, the US government removed the travel restriction for unvaccinated US citizens. It gave a flicker of hope for Djokovic’s participation. However, the travel guideline for foreign travelers still stays intact.

“Sadly, I will not be able to travel to NY this time for US Open,” Djokovic wrote in a Twitter post. Further, he added, “I’ll keep in good shape and positive spirit and wait for an opportunity to compete again.”

 With this, the Serb will officially end the year with only a single Grand Slam title.
