Djokovic was deported after his visa was cancelled by the Australian authorities and a series of court cases in Melbourne.  Meanwhile, Djokovic will be allowed to enter & compete in Dubai as the UAE has not made Covid vaccinations compulsory for travellers and only needs a negative RT-PCR test to enter the country.
