The US travel ban on those unvaccinated against Covid-19 continues to stand, but is there something Novak Djokovic knows that we don't? The Wimbledon champion hinted as much during a to-and-fro chat with Nick Kyrgios on social media, promising that he would shout Kyrgios to a dinner in New York, accompanied by a number of suggestive emojis.
Novak Djokovic may yet play at the US Open, if a cryptic social media chat with Nick Kyrgios is to be believed. Djokovic defeated Kyrgios in the final of Wimbledon last Sunday but as he confirmed during SW19, he had not been expecting to build on that win at the next and final Grand Slam of 2022, with the US continuing to refuse travellers who aren't vaccinated against Covid-19.
Djokovic and Kyrgios agreed before the Wimbledon final that whoever won would pay for a dinner.
That seemingly didn't happen after their match and when Kyrgios called out Djokovic on his promise online, the Serb's response was fascinating. Whether it has an element of truth or was designed to intrigue is as yet unclear, with the 35-year-old writing: "Sorry mate, I called the restaurants in London on Sunday night and there were no tables available.

"Dinner is on me in NYC." wrote Djokovic.
The latter line was accompanied by a series of emojis that seemed to suggest that Djokovic's appearance in New York is more possible than certain.
Djokovic and Kyrgios sharing dinner would see their relationship go full-circle from one where there was no love lost, to one that the pair are now calling a 'bromance'.
The Serb's win at Wimbledon saw him take his 21st major title and if he does somehow manage to compete in New York, he would be going for a 22nd - which would tie him with Rafael Nadal.
Nadal is expected to recover in time from his abdominal injury in time for the US Open, where he will be going for his third Grand slam title of the year after his victories at the Australian and French Opens.

If true, Game, Set, Match, Djokovic.
It's high time the science on those items was recognized, unlike the unvaxxed demonization propaganda Fauci et al. have been spewing for well over a year.
