Furthermore I too lament the fact that Nadal vs Djokovic finals didn’t happen, but unless the USA government changes their rule at the last moment we won’t see him irrespective of the rumours that continue to float in the media.
will be interesting to see draws on future tournaments now when Djokovic is at position 7 on ATP list, you would want to miss him in you draw party even if you are top seed
but, ATP has their right to omit points for tournaments, although would be more fair to players (if they wanted to protect players and punish Wimbledon) to omit GS status to Wimbledon
this way, with points, only players are punished
US open has open policy, but entering USA is an issue without vaccine
