Promising reports for Novak Djokovic—though not yet officially confirmed—from Australia about his likely being allowed back in after being deported earlier this year. And good news for us all, if confirmed, for this be resolved well in advance this time.
Djokovic allowed to play Australian Open after three-year ban rescinded
ATPTuesday, 15 November 2022 at 08:56
Novak Djokovic has reportedly been granted a visa to play in the 2023 Australian Open as his ban looks to have been overturned on entering the country.
Djokovic caused a global storm earlier this year by arriving Down Under for the 2022 tournament while unjabbed and tried and failed to get a medical exemption to play which prompted the ban.
Alex Hawke, then immigration minister cancelled his visa 'in the public interest' but since then the regulations have been relaxed and a new government has been installed which means signs looked promising and now sources close to Andrew Giles according to the Sydney Morning Herald report that this three-year ban is set to be overturned.
“That’s entirely up to the Australian government. I know Novak wants to come and play and to get back to competing,” said Tennis Australia's Craig Tiley on the potential news.
“He loves Australia and it’s where he’s had the best success but the timing [on any announcement] is up to somebody else and we’ll just play that one by ear.”
