When it comes to landing the world’s No. 1 tennis star, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis isn’t playing around.
In a letter to President Joe Biden on Tuesday, the conservative Republican and potential presidential contender slammed the president’s incoherent policies regarding COVID-19 vaccination policies for foreigners entering the United States.
He also suggested a workaround that would allow Serbian tennis great Novak Djokovic to enter the country to play in a tournament this month in Miami.
And it’s a workaround that highlights how outrageous the Biden policies are.
The problem DeSantis wrote about is obvious:
Trending:
The same Biden administration that has allowed millions of illegal immigrants to cross the southern border without consideration for whether they’ve received a coronavirus vaccination still maintains rules forbidding travelers from other countries who have not been vaccinated — if they arrive by air.
One of the most famous names to reject the vaccination is Djokovic, who contracted and recovered from COVID-19 in December 2021.
The Biden administration’s policy already forced Djokovic to withdraw from potential competition in the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, California, which begins Wednesday and concludes March 19, according to The Associated Press.
Now, DeSantis wants to get him into the United States in time for the beginning of the Miami Open, which begins March 19.

“It has been reported that Novak Djokovic has formally applied and been denied permission from your administration to enter the United States so that he may compete at the upcoming Miami Open tennis tournament,” DeSantis wrote. “This denial is unfair, unscientific and unacceptable. I urge you to reconsider.
“It’s time to put pandemic politics aside and give the American people what they want — let him play.”
And DeSantis wants to use the Biden administration’s own words to make it happen — by bringing Djokovic into the Sunshine State by boat.
