Coach Ivanisevic says he is waiting for a positive decision
After withdrawing from the Indian Wells Masters 1000 due to a US entry ban, Novak Djokovic is still hoping to be released to play in the Miami Masters 1000, which kicks off on the 23rd.
“We’re not giving up (Miami). He wants to play and I’d love it if they let him – that would be great for him and for tennis,” Ivanisevic told the Tennis Majors website in his first post-Australian Open interview. .
“If not, it’s not the end of the world, he didn’t even play last year. The most important thing is that we find out early so we can come up with a plan.”
Whatever happens, Djokovic has his sights set on clay and Roland Garros.
“As far as preparing for the European clay season, I’m not sure if playing in Miami is the best solution. It’s up to Novak – he has triumphed in Monaco in the past, having played in Indian Wells and Miami. If he’s mentally ready and in his fighter mode, as it was in Australia, anything is possible,” said Ivanisevic.
On Tuesday evening, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis sent a letter to President Joe Biden requesting the release of the Serbian entry into the country.
