DUBAI: Unvaccinated world number one Novak Djokovic has signed up to play at next month's ATP Dubai tennis tournament, reports said on Wednesday , after his deportation from Australia prevented a tilt at a record 21st Grand Slam title.
The 34-year-old Serb lost a legal battle to remain in Australia and defend his Australian Open crown this month in a COVID-19 controversy that made headlines around the world.Djokovic's next moves have been unclear since he flew out of Melbourne and home to Belgrade, via Dubai, as the tournament he has won a record nine times got under way in Melbourne.
He was first handed an exemption to play by Tennis Australia despite his unvaccinated status, but Australian authorities revoked his visa in a decision that was ultimately upheld by the Federal Court.
