Novak Djokovic is hoping to be allowed to play at the Australian Open next year despite being kicked out of the country over his vaccination status in January, the Serbian told state television RTS on Monday.

Djokovic won the Australian Open, French Open and Wimbledon titles in 2021 but was unable to defend his Melbourne Park crown due to his refusal to be vaccinated against COVID-19.

The 21-times major champion cannot currently enter the US without being vaccinated against COVID, while his deportation from Australia carried with it a three-year re-entry ban. “I believe things will change for Australian Open. For the US Open there is not much time, but hope dies last. I would like to play at the U.S. Open and Australia Open, but even if I do not it’s not the end of the world.”

Then Prime Minister Scott Morrison said when Djokovic was removed from Australia in January that his re-entry ban could be waived “in the right circumstances”.
