Tennis champion Novak Djokovic is set to miss his second U.S. tennis tournament this year, after he was denied entry into the country for being unvaccinated against COVID-19.
Some, like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, are calling on President Biden to remove the vaccination requirement and allow the Serbian athlete to compete in U.S. tournaments again.
"He poses zero risk to the United States, zero risk to the state of Florida and zero risk to Miami," the governor said at the time. Saturday that they are"very hopeful" Djokovic will be able to play in the U.S. Open, which begins on Aug. 28.
