Novak Djokovic cleared to play in Australian Open 2023 despite refusing to get Covid vaccination

After his visa fiasco at the Australian Open 2022, Novak Djokovic has been cleared to play in the Grand Slam event next year.

According to a report in the Herald Sun, with a new government coming on power in May during the Federal Election, new Immigration Minister Andrew Giles has reportedly decided in principle to overturn the 3-year travel ban on Djokovic, if he appeals it.

The world number 6 from Serbia was deported from Australia last year as he maintained his unvaccinated stand against Covid-19. Djokovic received a medical exemption to play at the Australian Open but had to fly back home when he lost a court battle after his visa was cancelled.

His refusal to take the Covid-19 jab didn't allow him to compete at this year's US Open as well.
