After much controversy last year, Novak Djokovic was denied to play in the US Open. He remained unvaccinated and was denied entry into all American tournaments last year. His stance was firm, and it certainly led to several intense debates, with renowned figures backing the Serbian. This year, however, the US government relaxed its restrictions this year, and he managed to play, much to the delight of his fans on the American continent. Now it turns out that the NFL legend Aaron Rodgers is also a big fan of the Djoker and celebrated his return with a jibe at the decision made last year.

His absence from the 2022 US Open was announced amidst much criticism of the US government’s Covid mandate. The decision made by the government and organizers did not sit well with many players, and they were openly lambasting the act. Now that he is back, the New York Jets star hit a snide remark.

The disdain for the decision to ban the Djoker from the country last year was not enjoyed by fans. Many tennis stars, along with renowned figures from other sports, spoke out against the ban. But now that it is lifted, and the Djoker is playing in the US Open again, everyone is relishing his matches as much as they can.

In the front row is Aaron Rodgers, who also posted a story about watching Djokovic play. He wrote “Bucket list” and added a green check mark emoji. Additionally, he also wrote “being able to witness the greatness of (at)djokernole in person at #arthurashestadium.”

In the picture, above Djokovic, who was serving, was a Moderna sign which was crossed out by a red line by Rodgers, and he also wrote, “novaxdjokovic“, taking a jibe at decision makers for not allowing him to play last year. He later explained this move while slamming the 2022 ban.

“I took that photo and then realized that there was a little Moderna sign in the background. Novak is one of the most fit athletes in the world and I think that anybody looking at the situation realizes how ridiculous it was to not allow him into the country with (his) level of fitness and the way he takes care of his body.”
