Djokovic, out of the Montreal Masters 1000: he does not have vaccines against COVID-19.

Novak Djokovic's negative stance on COVID-19 vaccination has not changed and he will continue to pay the consequences in the final part of the 2022 season (he had been excluded from the Australian Open at the beginning of the year). This Thursday it was known that the Serbian will not participate in the Montreal Masters 1000, due to the restrictions of the Canadian Government.

The arrival of 'Nole' to the North American tour had already been in doubt for a few months, since he did not have the required information about the reception of the medication that combats the coronavirus. Finally, in the face of the firm conditioning of the authorities, the 21-time Grand Slam champion decided to withdraw from the Canadian tournament, which will start on August 10.

Likewise, it is likely that Djokovic will not be present at the Cincinnati Masters and, if the current situation remains, he will not attend the US Open either. For now, the current number six in the ATP ranking will continue training on his own, waiting for any news that will allow him to return to activity.

Remember that the last match Novak played was on July 10th at the Centre Court in London, in the Wimbledon final. That time, the 35-year-old tennis player defeated Nick Kyrgios 3-1 and accumulated 21 Grand Slam trophies, just one short of Rafael Nadal, who is the all-time leader with 22 titles. If he misses the US Open, the 'Fierce' could extend his record.

Precisely, the Spaniard is one of the main attractions of the Montreal Masters 1000, as he is recovering positively from the abdominal injury he suffered in England. Another figure competing in the event in Canada is Andy Murray.
