Novak Djokovic vs. Australia. This was a big controversy at the beginning of the year, when the Serb was supposed to take part in the Australian Open like every season. A big opponent of the coronavirus vaccine, he didn’t get it.
However, Australia still had very strict coronavirus measures in place and his start at the first Grand Slam of the season did not happen because the winner of 21 Grand Slams did not get a visa.
Moreover, he was expelled from the country. There was also talk that Djokovic could face a three-year prison sentence.
Now the situation has changed and Djokovic is already preparing for the first tournament of the season. It will be the ATP 250 tournament in Adelaide, which will have a very strong line-up.
The organizers are getting my hands dirty as Daniil Medvedev, Holger Rune, Andrey Rublev, Jannik Sinner and Andy Murray have signed up for the tournament.
This time around, Djokovic should have already received the necessary visa and there is nothing preventing the 35-year-old Serb from taking part in the Australian Open. Joker has won the Adelaide tournament 10 times.
The first major of the season starts on January 1. Karolína Plíšková, for example, is expected to compete among the women.
