The Novak Djokovic saga has taken yet another turn – with the Australian government revoking his visa for a second time and his status for the Australian Open up in the air.
Djokovic has been accused of lying about his COVID-19 status and violating travel and safety protocols. If deported, he could be banned from returning to Australia – and therefore competing in the Australian Open – for three years.
The Open, meanwhile, is set to begin Monday with No. 1-ranked Djokovic taking on Miomir Kecmanovic. Djokovic is appealing the court’s decision.
