MELBOURNE—Novak Djokovic could end the year as the world’s top-ranked player but it would be a “disgrace” if his chances are affected by not being able to compete in the United States due to his unvaccinated status, Indian Wells tournament director Tommy Haas said.
Djokovic missed last year’s Australian Open and was deported from the country due to being unvaccinated against COVID-19. His three-year visa ban was overturned in November and he is back at the Grand Slam looking to win a 10th crown and 22nd major.
