What’s the scenario for Serena and Djokovic before the US Open 2022?

It seems like Serena is determined to win the US Open, as she recently entered two back-to-back competitions, the Rogers Cup and the Cincinnati Open, respectively. Recently, she came back to competitive action at Wimbledon after a long injury layoff but was unable to go beyond the first round. It was pretty clear that she was lacking match fitness, as she has not played for a long time on the tour. Now, she is aiming to play as many tournaments as possible before the US Open.

Meanwhile, things have become quite controversial for Djokovic, as he is unable to enter the USA to play at the US Open. Earlier, he decided to not take the COVID vaccine, which already cost him the Australian Open. Now, it seems like he will miss the US Open as well, as the US government is not letting unvaccinated people enter the country. Earlier this month, he won the Wimbledon Championships and looked all set to challenge for the US Open as well.
