Novak Djokovic closing in on US Open participation?

Djokovic has not officially confirmed his participation at the US Open. His name in the doubles list for Cincinnati adds impetus to the discussion.

Djokovic expressed doubts over traveling to New York for the two tournaments. The decision is expected anytime now.

A major concern for the world number one is the mandatory quarantine rule. He expressed his views recently and said he is not keen to travel to New York if there is quarantine upon returning to Europe. This means he would miss the Rome Masters in the build-up to the French Open.
