RECENTLY-CROWNED WIMBLEDON CHAMPION Novak Djokovic said on Monday it is unlikely he will feature in this year’s US Open as he continues to refuse to be vaccinated against coronavirus.
As things stand, the 35-year-old’s unvaccinated status means he will not be allowed into the United States to play in the tournament, which starts next month.
The Serb was deported from Australia over his vaccination status in January, preventing him from defending his Australian Open title.
“At the moment I can’t go to the United States, I’m hoping for positive news, but there’s not a lot of time, I don’t know, hope springs eternal,” he told Serbian broadcasters RTS.
“I’d like to play the US Open but if it doesn’t happen it’s not the end of the world, nor the first Grand Slam I have to withdraw from.
“It’s important to me to stay healthy, physically and mentally, so I can still play for a long time and the chances to do so will certainly come,” he added.
The Serbian top seed beat Nick Kyrgios in four sets on Sunday to win his seventh title at the All England Club and 21st Grand Slam crown overall — leaving him just one behind Rafael Nadal.
“People asked me, speaking about my records, what was my favourite number and I cited one of my idols, who is no longer with us, Kobe Bryant,” Djokovic said in front of a crowd of thousands of fans in Belgrade.
“My favourite title is the next one,” he added.
you could say the game was put on “paws” while the feline made its way to the sideline!
— sorry!
I think it was Trap who let the cat out of the sack…
Lucky that pussy wasn’t at Old Trafford. With Rooney and Giggs around, she’d definitely be f****d.
The cat was interviewed later on sky sports and claimed he just left his seat to get a hotdog and jumped over the wrong fence.
He was running away from Kennel Dog-leash
Liverpools number 1 supPAWter. I’ll red thumb myself for that!
Anfield obviously has a vermin problem
But cats and Dirks dispose of that issue!
He’s lucky he wasn’t a black cat with luis Suarez sitting on the bench. Could have gotten out of hand.. ;)
Opposition to Ryanair spreads to the animal kingdom . . .
The cat was just looking for his beachball
He literally covered every blade of grass and had the defense in sixes and sevens. He could have had a hat trick but he left his shooting boots in the dressing room. Liverpool are not a team to pussyfoot around.
The cat was later interviewed on Sky Sports and calmed he just left his seat to get a hotdog and must have jumped the wrong fence.
Heard you the first time.
Unfortunately.
Someone told him it was a milk cup game
In 1 minute on the pitch he ran past more players than Downing has all season !
