Novak Djokovic is set for a return to the US Open after the US senate voted to eliminate some of the COVID-19 restrictions.
The restrictions have been in place for the last two years which have denied foreign travellers the chance to visit America if they are unvaccinated.
As is well documented Djokovic hasn’t had his vaccination which is the reason for his absence at Indian Wells and Miami.
However Djokovic could be set to return to America after the US senate passed a bill to eliminate the COVID-19 restrictions in the country.
US president Joe Biden is expected to put the final signature on the bill which will then allow unvaccinated travellers from abroad to enter the country.
This means that Djokovic will be allowed to play the US Open for the first time since the 2021 final where he missed out on the chance to complete the calendar Grand Slam after losing to Daniil Medvedev.
Djokovic will look to win a fourth US Open title when he returns to Flushing Meadows on the 28th of August.
However in the short-term, Djokovic will look to reclaim his world number one ranking over the clay court season as he plays Monte-Carlo on the 9th of April.
