Djokovic, who is still unvaccinated against the corona virus, was expelled in the run-up to this year’s Australian Open after his visa was canceled after a lengthy legal dispute.
That’s why the long-standing world number one is actually not allowed to enter Australia for three years. This block would have to be withdrawn first.

“It is good that they have now opened the borders to unvaccinated foreigners. I have this ban. I hope it will be lifted,” said the 21-time Grand Slam winner.
Djokovic hopes for a positive response from politicians
“I hope that the people in the Australian government will give a positive answer, that’s all,” said Djokovic.
Australia has always been the place “where I played my best tennis, the results speak for themselves, so I’m always particularly motivated to go there. This time even more.” Djokovic has won the Australian Open nine times, making him the record champion.
Since the Serb is not vaccinated against the corona virus, he not only missed the Happy Slam in Melbourne this season, but also the North American tour including the US Open.
Djokovic campaigns for the right to self-determination
However, he expected these consequences. “I respect that everyone has a different way of thinking about my situation and my circumstances. (…) I’ve always tried to show that it’s important that everyone has the right and freedom to make their own decisions,” explained Djokovic.
