In a post on Instagram, Jelena spoke about her family’s experience with Djokovic, who made Luka and Peter feel comfortable upon meeting them. Their father Nikola asked him for a picture with the kids and the 21-time Grand Slam champion did not disappoint them.
Jelena even expressed how he treated her younger son Peter “as his own equal for years.”
The older of the two brothers, Luka, has been a tennis fan for years and was nervous after meeting his favorite tennis player, but the Serb made him feel quite welcome. Jelena further said that just a few days ago she dreamed about meeting Djokovic and called it a ‘miracle’ now that it has become a reality.
Does the new CDC ruling help Novak Djokovic’s US Open participation?
Novak Djokovic’s hopes of participating in the 2022 US Open recently received a boost after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) changed its COVID-19 guidelines in the US.
As per the new information, unvaccinated persons will not be treated any differently than those who are fully vaccinated. While this means that the Serbian player’s unvaccinated status is now not that big a problem for his US Open plans, the new ruling is still unclear on whether it extends to non-American citizens.
Djokovic will need to wait and see if those rules apply to citizens of other countries who are flying into the United States and also if there is a relaxation in other rules for unvaccinated travelers.
Meanwhile, he is certain to miss this week’s Cincinnati Masters in Ohio. If the 35-year-old does eventually get to play in the US Open, he will enter the tournament without any hardcourt matches under his belt after Wimbledon.
