Serena Williams and Djokovic remembered for U.S. Open section list

• Serena Williams was remembered for the section list.
• U.S. Open on Wednesday alongside individual.
• Novak Djokovic, who cannot contend because of his refusal.

Serena Williams, who got back to contest last month following an extended nonattendance, was added to the section list.

The list for the Aug. 29-Sept. 11 Grand Slam in New York having been named in the draw for adjust occasions in Toronto and Cincinnati.

The 23-times Grand Slam champion fell in the primary round at Wimbledon and last showed up in the U.S. Open in 2020 when the six-time champ arrived at the semi-finals.

Qualified players are naturally placed into the fundamental draw however that does close to nothing to help Djokovic, who held his Wimbledon crown last month and is one back of Rafa Nadal’s record of 22 Grand Slam titles.

Djokovic can avoid the year’s last Grand Slam because of current guidelines under which explorers looking to enter the United States must be completely inoculated and give confirmation prior to loading up flights.

“The U.S. Open doesn’t have an immunization command set up for players, yet it will regard the U.S. government’s position with respect to go into the country for unvaccinated non-U.S. residents,” the United States Tennis Association (USTA) said in a news discharge.

Djokovic won the Australian Open, French Open and Wimbledon titles in 2021 yet couldn’t shield his Melbourne Park crown this year subsequent to being ousted from Australia over his immunization status in January.

He later said he was ready to miss Grand Slam competitions instead of take the COVID-19 antibody.
