Novak Djokovic, the world’s top-ranked tennis player, will not be competing in the Miami Open due to his unvaccinated status, tournament director James Blake confirmed on Friday.

Djokovic, 35, was unable to secure an exemption that would allow him to enter the United States as the country currently bars foreigners from entry if they haven’t received a COVID-19 jab.
