Novak Djokovic’s Australian Open Hopes Dashed After Visa Cancelled at Airport

Australian PM says ‘no special rules’ despite medical exemption
The Guardian UK .6 JAN 2022.
Novak Djokovic’s ‘medical exemption’ prompted a backlash from politicians and the public, with his visa now confirmed to have been cancelled.
Novak Djokovic’s attempts to compete at the Australian Open this month have collapsed after the No 1-ranked male tennis player was told his visa has been rejected. He is due to be flown out of Melbourne on Thursday amid a spiralling outcry over a controversial “medical exemption” agreed by the tournament’s organisers.
The reigning Australian Open champion was held up for several hours at passport control on Wednesday night at Tullamarine airport in Melbourne, the host city of the tournament, as he was questioned.
