“I am preparing as if I was going to be authorized to compete, while waiting to know if it will be possible for me to go to the United States. Fingers crossed
,” he captioned his workout video.
Fans of the former world number 1 have even created an online petition in support of Novak Djokovic hoping to see the Belgrade native in New York:
“I just wanted to take a moment to tell you how grateful I am to see so many messages of support and love from around the world these days.
I didn't expect it, it's breathtaking
, "said the 35-year-old player who is aiming for a 22nd major.
As a reminder, the Djokovic clan arrested President Joe Biden at the start of the week so that he could intervene directly in the Serb's file.
In the meantime, Novak is training hard with the goal of equaling Rafael Nadal's Grand Slam tally.
