Australia has cancelled the visa of Czech tennis player Renata Voracova, who had entered the country to play in the Australian Open.
She is being held in the same hotel as Serbian star Novak Djokovic, who is appealing the cancellation of his visa.
The Czech Foreign Ministry said Voracova had entered the country on a valid exemption, because of a recent Covid-19 infection.
But it says she will now withdraw from the tournament and leave Australia.
The Australian government said on Friday that a recent infection does not mean a foreign national can travel to the country without being fully vaccinated.
