In early January 2022, Djokovic was deported from Australia, where he was going to take part in the Australian Open. He was detained at Melbourne Airport due to the fact that he could not provide documents on medical exemption from COVID-19 vaccination to the country's border guards. After the trial, the athlete's visa was canceled, and Novak Djokovic himself was warned of the need to leave the country. The tennis player challenged in court the legality of the decision of the Australian Border Guard and won the case, but the Australian authorities on January 14, 2022 decided to revoke the tennis player's visa and deport him from the country. The athlete filed a new appeal, but it was rejected.

As noted in Reuters, doubts arose about whether Djokovic will be able to play at the next Grand Slam tournament, the French Open, which starts at the end of May 2022. The Australian Minister of Sports said there would be no exceptions to the new vaccine pass laws. He also noted that more than 95% of the 100% of the best male tennis players and tennis players included in the ratings of their tournaments are vaccinated.^[1]
