For the first time after two years, Novak Djokovic is back in the United States and back at the U.S. Open.
The 23-time Grand Slam champion, who was unable to compete at Flushing Meadows in 2022 due to failing to enter the country without a COVID-19 vaccination, will return to US Open on Monday as the final major tournament of the year gets underway.
