Djokovic Cleared for Australian Open

Novak Djokovic has been cleared to play in the Australian Open, after the Australian government overturned a visa ban.

The Serbian tennis star was detained in January over his refusal to be vaccinated against Covid.

Djokovic was deported from the country 10 days later, despite mounting a successful legal challenge.

When he arrived in Australia in January, Covid cases were skyrocketing and government rules required anyone entering the country be vaccinated.
