Novak Djokovic will reportedly be able to defend his French Open title in 2022 regardless of his Covid vaccination status.
The world number one was sensationally deported from Australia after confusion over his visa and exemption status reigned. Djokovic was detained soon after arriving in Melbourne in early January before he was released - and then detained for a second time when medical exemption concerns became apparent.
After his final appeal was rejected out of hand, Djokovic was forced to leave Australia, unable to pursue a 10th Australian Open title and defend his crown at the first Grand Slam of the year. The awkward and humiliating scenario led to suggestions that Djokovic would be banned from the French Open and US Open, too.
