Web Desk — Novak Djokovic’s visa has been canceled and he has been denied entry to Australia, the country’s border agency announced on Wednesday. The agency stated that the tennis player “failed to provide appropriate evidence” to meet entry requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In order to participate in the Australian Open, which begins in less than two weeks, the Serb obtained a medical exemption from the COVID-19 vaccination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Australian Border Force (ABF) said in a statement on Thursday that Djokovic did not provide adequate evidence that he met Australia’s entry requirements, so his visa has been revoked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Djokovic was transported from Melbourne’s Tullamarine airport to the Park Hotel, a government detention facility notorious for Coronavirus outbreaks. Although Djokovic’s lawyers have filed an injunction, the injunction has been rescheduled for 6pm (07:00 GMT) on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
