An Year of turmoil for Djokovic
“The World Tennis League will be an event like no other. It brings a unique and engaging new format to the game of tennis, offering a spectacular mix of sport and entertainment together. We can’t wait to welcome fans from around the globe for this momentous event that hails a new era for tennis,”
Rajesh Banga, Chairman of World Tennis League, had said.
Djokovic travelled to Melbourne in January of this year in an effort to win his 10th Australian Open. The infamously unvaccinated Serbian, however, had his visa revoked. He was imprisoned at a hotel that hosted refugees before being expelled on the basis of “health and good order.”
Djokovic was also prohibited from entering the country. This prevented him from competing in the US Open. But he was still able to win his seventh Wimbledon championship in July. Novak will attempt to win a 22nd Grand Slam at the 2024 Australian Open after receiving approval to compete.
