Novak Djokovic will not defend his title at the Australian Open this month after he was denied entry into the country on Thursday over an issue with his visa, according to reports. The Australian Border Forces released a statement stating that Djokovic did not provide the « appropriate evidence » to meet the government’s entry requirements, resulting in his visa being canceled just days after announcing he received a medical exemption to participate in the Grand Slam tournament. « Non-citizens who do not hold a valid visa on entry or who have had their visa canceled will be detained and removed from Australia, » the statement read, via The Age.
