American tennis player Tennys Sandgren on Thursday offered support to Novak Djokovic after the world number one was denied entry into Australia amid a dispute over a COVID-19 vaccine medical exemption he received.

Djokovic was granted the exemption following a review by two independent medical panels prior to boarding his flight, but upon landing in Melbourne for this month’s Australian Open, he was denied entry.

Djokovic has consistently refused to disclose his vaccination status while publicly criticising vaccine mandates.“Other players who received the same medical exemptions that he did, were they scrutinised and met with the same almost hostility upon arrival?” he said. Sandgren, who has twice reached the Australian Open quarter-finals, said he is not competing there this year because he is unvaccinated and does not meet the criteria for a medical exemption.

“I’m against the government telling you that you should inject something into your body. I believe that that’s not their place,” he said.
