Tennis ace Novak Djokovic will not be able to compete in the U.S. Open next month unless the COVID-19 vaccine mandate is lifted as he has no plans to get the shot, the Wimbledon champion said on Sunday in an interview shortly after his win.

The 35-year-old made the comment after beating Australia’s Nick Kyrgios, marking his seventh Wimbledon title and 21st Grand Slam title.
