7月21日，美网组委会公布今年参赛名单，德约科维奇榜上有名。但主办方美国网球协会随即解释称，名单只是按照世界排名生成，美网方面会严格执行美国政府的入境规定。这意味着德约如果不打新冠疫苗无法入境美国，也无法参加美网大赛。美国网球协会表示，这份参赛名单包括了截止到7月18日，根据WTA和ATP排名符合资格的所有球员。根据国际网球组织的大满贯参赛规则，大满贯赛事开始前42天符合资格的选手，根据排名自动进入男单和女单的抽签区。 Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner's two other children, Jake and Romy have issued first statement about their parents' deaths. While they opened up about the devastating circumstances, they did not openly speak about their brother Nick Reiner's involvement in the homicides.
"Words cannot even begin to describe the unimaginable pain we are experiencing every moment of the day. The horrific and devastating loss of our parents, Rob and Michele Reiner, is something that no one should ever experience. They weren't just our parents; they were our best friends,” the siblings said in a statement.
They added, "We are grateful for the outpouring of condolences, kindness, and support we have received not only from family and friends but people from all walks of life. We now ask for respect and privacy, for speculation to be tempered with compassion and humanity, and for our parents to be remembered for the incredible lives they lived and the love they gave."
The statement was issued on the same day their brother, Nick Reiner, appeared in court for the first time on Wednesday. In the court hearing, they waived his right to enter a plea on two counts of first-degree murder. For those unaware, Nick has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder. He is being held without bail, since the time he has been taken into custody. The Los Angeles Police Department has also claimed that Nick Reiner is responsible for his parents' deaths.
About Rob and Michele Singer Reiner's deathsRob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner were discovered dead at their Los Angeles residence. The county medical examiner confirmed that the couple were victims of a homicide. They sustained multiple sharp-force wounds. Authorities have so far declined to share details about the evidence, any suspected motive, or the circumstances that led to Nick Reiner’s arrest.Also Read: Nick Reiner Charged With Murder in Deaths of Parents Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner。另一方面，美国网球协会强调，如果德约想参加美网，首先要入境美国，这意味着他必须接种疫苗。
二 | 美网将尊重美国政府的立场，没有接种疫苗的非美国人将无法入境。此外，作为美网硬地赛季重要一站，在加拿大举行的罗杰斯杯大师赛主办方也对德约参赛说不。
三 | 赛事主管拉皮埃尔证实，入境加拿大需要接种疫苗。而加拿大政府不会为了球员改变规则。此前加拿大卫生部长已经表示，不会为德约改变规则，“规则适用于所有人，即使有例外，也是有限度的例外，更何况疫情还没有结束。再说一次，我们需要让加拿大人意识到接种疫苗的重要性。” 目前男单世界第一德约能否参加美网已经引发广泛讨论。支持者游说美国多位参议员为德约出头，网络上还发起了请愿活动，已经有12000人签名，希望美国政府允许德约参赛。但从目前情况看，德约科维奇也许只能向美网硬地赛季告别了。
