Although the rules in the USA dictate that Serbian teenager Novak Djokovic cannot compete in tournaments there, the Wimbledon champion is on the list of participants for the Masters in Cincinnati.
The tournament played in Mason attracted many big names in world tennis, and Djokovic was certainly registered, in case the rules on entering the country were to change.
For now, Djokovic can only hope for the best outcome, and although there are no indications from the American representatives that anything will change, a petition has been launched that demands that the Serbian tennis player be allowed to enter and compete in that country.
About 12,000 people have signed that petition so far.
The competitors expected to compete in Cincinnati besides Djokovic are Daniil Medvedev, Alexander Zverev, Rafael Nadal, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Casper Rudd, Carlos Alcaraz, Andrei Rublev, Felix Auger-Aliassim and Yannick Sinner.
Among the Serbian tennis players, the place in the main draw according to the position is currently held by Miomir Kecmanović, Filip Krajinović is currently second “below the line”.
Masters in Cincinnati will be played from August 13 to 21.
