Public Verdict on Novak Djokovic’s Australia Entry Revealed Amidst Controversy Surrounding Visa Approval

Novak Djokovic got into a big controversy when he traveled to Australia. The 35-year-old went there to defend his Australian Open title. However, as per the COVID-19 guidelines, he was unable to enter the country. Later, because of his unvaccinated status, Djokovic had to return from Australia and missed the Australian Open.
