Novak Djokovic Could Return to U.S. for Miami Open Next Month
Novak Djokovic could soon return to action in the United States for the first time since his unvaccinated COVID status resulted in him being barred from the Australian Open.
The world No.1 of men's tennis' left Australia after a legal dispute about whether or not officials could ban him from the tournament, which was won by Rafael Nadal on Monday.
The 34-year-old Serb is set to return to the courts later this following confirmation of his participation at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships, which starts on February 21.
Next month, could see his return to the States and Miami, where the Monaco-based star owns a $5 million luxury condo building.
Currently, unvaccinated non-citizens will be denied entry to the U.S, according to the national restrictions in place at time of publication.
CDC's website reads: "If you are a non-U.S. citizen, non-U.S. immigrant and not fully vaccinated, you will not be allowed to enter the United States. Only limited exceptions apply to the requirement to show proof of vaccination."
It is unclear whether Djokovic's case will fall within the exemption bracket, plus his botched attempt at acquiring an Australian exemption will likely increase the scrutiny his team is under when traveling.

Organizers told Newsweek they "anticipate" Djokovic, who owns a home in Miami, will play the upcoming tournament.
