Novak Djokovic was held overnight at Melbourne Airport on January 6, 2022, after being denied entry into Australia. The world No 1 tennis player was held for questioning by Australian authorities over an issue with the visa submitted by his team. The 20-time grand slam champion was supposedly given a medical exemption to play, despite tournament organisers insisting all players and teams must be double vaccinated to compete at the Australian Open this year.
