The tennis community can’t keep quiet as the Grand Slam event in New York is almost underway with Novak Djokovic making his return after a lengthy hiatus. A few seasons back, the ATP legend was restricted from entering the country owing to his anti-vaccination stance. Now, after almost 2 seasons, the Serb is back with a bang on US soil, given his stellar form during the North American hardcourt swing.
For the US Open, the 36-year-old is leaving no stone unturned in his preparations ahead of his campaign in New York. And for the same reason, Djokovic has decided to go into full lockdown mode in a lavish $40-million wooded estate, alongside his wife.
