Serbian tennis star Novak Djokovic’s visa has been canceled less than two weeks before the start of the Australian Open, Australia prime minister Scott Morrison and the country's border operations announced. He was denied entry into the country.
The news comes after he was granted a medical exemption to play in the tournament without receiving the COVID-19 vaccine.
“Mr Djokovic’s visa has been cancelled,” Morrison said in a Tweet. “No one is above these rules. Our strong border policies have been critical to Australia having one of the lowest death rates in the world from COVID, we are continuing to be vigilant.
