The world’s No. 1 men’s tennis player now has the dubious honor of joining actor Johnny Depp in receiving a harsh lesson on Australian quarantine and border policy.
Novak Djokovic tried to enter the country without meeting a clearly stated requirement for receiving a full course of Covid-19 vaccines. And he subsequently failed to provide sufficient evidence of a medical reason why he shouldn’t get them. So now, the 34-year-old Serb is set to be ejected just weeks before he’s due to defend his Australian Open title in Melbourne. The tennis player was moved to a quarantine hotel, pending an appeal that may be heard as early as Jan. 10.
