Novak Djokovic said he is preparing for the U.S. Open as if he will be allowed to compete at the hardcourt major, despite him being unvaccinated against COVID-19.

Djokovic, who has three U.S. Open titles, will not be able to participate at this year’s U.S. Open due to current rules under which travelers seeking to enter the United States have to be fully vaccinated and provide a proof before boarding flights.
