Djokovic’s refusal to get vaccinated has drawn controversy and prevented the Serbian tennis star from competing in some tournaments over the last year.
President Joe Biden Tuesday to grant Djokovic a waiver to enter the U.S., after the governor said Djokovic’s request to enter the country was denied due to federal rules requiring people who aren’t citizens or green card-holders to show proof of vaccination before traveling to the U.S.
The Florida governor asked Biden whether Djokovic can legally enter the country by boat, noting that the Biden Administration has restricted entry for unvaccinated individuals via air, land or ferry terminal but hasn’t issued “analogous restrictions for non-U.S. individuals seeking to enter our country by boat.”
DeSantis called the denial “unfair, unscientific and unacceptable” and argued that despite the Covid travel restrictions on non-U.S. citizens, thousands of unvaccinated migrants have entered the U.S. through the southern border since Biden took office . Djokovic—who has not commented on his potential appearance at the Miami Open—withdrew from Indian Wells, the U.S. tournament he planned to play before the Miami Open, organizers of the tennis tournament
