Novak Djokovic was one of the players who spoke out against the US Open restrictions. He felt that the restrictions were extreme and that it would not be very difficult to play with them. In a recent interview with Zurnal, he revealed that he has still not changed his stance. He said,

“I still don’t know if I will play at the US Open. I certainly don’t play Washington, Cincinnati in the plan. Participation in Garros is safe for now, and Madrid and Rome are also planned.”
