Novak Djokovic Granted Visa To Play In 2023 Australian Open

Former world number one tennis player, Novak Djokovic will receive a visa to play in the 2023 Australian Open, despite his deportation from the country ahead of this year’s tournament in January.

The Australian government had decided to grant the unvaccinated Serb a visa for the Grand Slam contest, overturning a three-year ban after his deportation from the country.

The government disclosed that a COVID diagnosis did not justify his medical exemption from the rules, which clearly stated that all visitors must be vaccinated. He was barred from the country until 2025.

According to reports, Immigration Minister Andrew Giles overturned Djokovic’s ban, allowing him to compete.
