Nine-time Australian Open champion Novak Djokovic will miss the Grand Slam in January unless he can come to an arrangement with the Australian Federal Government.
Djokovic, who is unvaccinated against Covid-19, is banned from re-entering Australia until 2025 after he was deported this year following a messy saga that resulted in a failed courtroom bid to restore his visa.
Tennis Australia chief executive Craig Tiley says he's spoken with the Serbian and would welcome him back for the Open.
RNZ sports reporter Felicity Reid has the details.
