Unvaccinated Tennis Stars May Not Get Visa For Australian Open

Tennis players not vaccinated against COVID-19 are unlikely to be allowed into the country for the Australian Open. This is according to Daniel Andrews, the Premier of Victoria, the state in which the Australian Open takes place every year. Victoria recently introduced a vaccination mandate for all professional athletes. Andrews said that if an unvaccinated tennis player did get a visa they would likely have to quarantine for a few weeks. [The virus] doesn't care what your tennis ranking is, or how many Grand Slams you've won. It's completely irrelevant. You need to be vaccinated to keep yourself safe and to keep others safe, - Daniel Andrews, Victoria Premier. This comes after Novak Djokovic refused to reveal his vaccination status. Djokovic also said he is unsure if he will defend his Australian Open title.
