World number one Novak Djokovic says he is hoping for a “positive decision” to allow him to play at Indian Wells and the Miami Open next month.<\/span><\/p>\n

The United States has extended its requirement for international visitors to be vaccinated against Covid-19.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Proof of vaccination will be required to enter the country until at least 10 April, but the Serbian has previously said he is unvaccinated.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 35-year-old has applied for special permission to enter the country.<\/span><\/p>\n

Indian Wells and the Miami Open – two of the most prestigious tournaments on the tennis calendar outside the Grand Slams – start on 6 and 20 March respectively.<\/span><\/p>\n

Djokovic says he will return to the ATP tour in Dubai next week after <\/span>claiming a record-extending 10th Australian Open title<\/span><\/a> and a record-equalling 22nd Grand Slam men’s title last month.<\/span><\/p>\n

“My plans after Dubai depend on the US. I’m waiting for a reply, it’s not on me. I will know soon,” Djokovic said after practising in Belgrade on Wednesday.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Everything is in process. I’m thankful to the Indian Wells and Miami communities for their support. <\/span><\/p>\n

“They would like me to be able to play in their tournaments. I’m looking forward to a positive decision coming soon, but it’s not in my hands.” <\/span><\/p>\n

Djokovic equalled Rafael Nadal’s Grand Slam record with victory in Australia, 12 months after he was deported from the country before the 2022 tournament because of his vaccination status.<\/span><\/p>\n

Australia dropped its vaccine requirements in July and Djokovic’s <\/span>three-year visa ban was overturned in November.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n
