Novak Djokovic lost the only court battle of any kind that he faced in Australia last year.
Deported from the country after three federal judges backed the Australian immigration minister's right to revoke his visa because he's not vaccinated against COVID-19 and admitting him might have triggered anti-vaccination sentiment, Djokovic missed an opportunity to pass Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer and stand alone with the most men's career Grand Slam singles titles.
A lot has changed in the year since Djokovic was escorted out of Australia. Most of those new circumstances work in his favor, leaving him poised to become the men's Slam leader this year.
