Men's world tennis number one Novak Djokovic will be allowed to compete at the US Open this year after the US government said it will end its Covid-19 vaccination requirements.
Djokovic, one of the most high-profile athletes unvaccinated against Covid-19, missed the US Open in 2022 due to his vaccine status.
From late next week international travellers to the US will not be required to have a Covid vaccination.
Djokovic was also unable enter the country earlier this year after unsuccessfully applying for special permission to play at Indian Wells and Miami.
He also missed last year's Australian Open and was deported from the country due to his vaccine status and has said he would skip Grand Slams rather than have a Covid shot.
Djokovic has won the US Open three times.
