Novak Djokovic will officially make his return to the U.S. Open after missing last year’s tournament as the United States is poised to end its COVID-19 vaccination requirement for international travelers on May 11.
The 22-time Grand Slam champion infamously is not vaccinated against COVID-19 and was prevented from playing in several tournaments in the 2022 season, including when he was deported from Australia due to his vaccination status. Djokovic also missed all the American tournaments last season, including Indian Wells, the Miami Open and the U.S. Open.

So you think college football is about to take a backseat for a few months? Sure, the transfer portal period is over, the NFL Draft is finished and the Deion Sanders Spring bonanza has ended. But there are a number of items to check off the list over the next few months.
Did college football get it right with separate transfer portal periods? This is a question that will be answered over the next two years. During the 2022-23 period, 3,252 players entered the portal, up from the 3,083 in 2021-2022.
Talor Gooch earned $4 million with his LIV Golf win in Australia two weeks ago, or so he thought.
Gooch put on a clinic in Adelaide for what was his maiden win on the Saudi-backed circuit, and while he still had over $2 million deposited into his bank account, a huge chunk of money was missing.

For the second straight week, Alpine found themselves out of the points
After the first two races of the 2023 Formula 1 season, it looked like Alpine had something for the rest of the field to contend with. Pierre Gasly finished ninth in the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix, and the came away with double points in Jeddah, as Gasly finished P9 and teammate Esteban Ocon finished P8 in the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
Since then, it has been nothing but heartbreak for the Alpine duo.
On Nov. 25, 2022, University of Minnesota centerman Logan Cooley had the puck on his stick and plenty of space behind his opponent’s net. As he skated back above the goal line, his path to the net was cut off by a defenseman, so he executed a 180-degree turn on a dime and skated back into the still-vacant ice behind the net with the puck on his forehand.
“Any time I’m behind the net and have a little space, I’m kind of thinking about it,” says Cooley, who was picked third in last year’s NHL draft by the Coyotes.
The Celtics seemed to have two big advantages going into Monday night’s opening game of their second-round series with the 76ers: They were at home and, more importantly, Joel Embiid was out with a knee injury.
Neither of those things seemed to matter to James Harden and Co., though, as Philadelphia stayed close throughout and then beat Boston on a late three-pointer by Harden, who finished with a game-high 45 points.
LeBron James might not be doing a bunch of reading prior to games after all.
For years, LeBron James has occasionally been spotted with a book and claimed to indulge himself in some novels prior to getting on the court.
It was always ridiculous for far too many reasons to count, but none more so than the fact it always looked like he was only a few pages in. As far as I can tell, at no point was he spotted with a book 95% done.
