Novak Djokovic was unable to defend his title at the Australian Open due to the well-known events, as well as suffering serious damage to his image. The number 1 in the world was expelled from the country on the eve of the start of the Happy Slam, after the three judges of the Federal Court confirmed the visa revocation order. As if that weren't enough, the Serbian had to watch helplessly as his eternal rival Rafael Nadal won at Melbourne Park. Thanks to this triumph, the Spaniard overtook Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic to reach 21 Majors. The choice not to get vaccinated could compromise Nole's entire season, given the recent news from the United States and France. The 34-year-old from Belgrade will return to action in Dubai next week, a tournament he has won five times. In addition to Djokovic, there will also be Jannik Sinner, Felix Auger-Aliassime, Andrey Rublev and Denis Shapovalov in the Arab Emirates. In a recent interview with 'The National News', Dubai ATP director Salah Tahlak spoke extensively about Novak.

"It's better to think of the future and be positive," Tahlak said. "I think it's great to have Novak Djokovic back. I know the whole world has been against him but at the end of the day he's number one in the world and he's a former champion in Dubai." In the interview, Tahlak revealed that since no one is required to be "vaccinated" before entering Dubai, Djokovic's vaccination status won't be of any concern this time. He further stated that as long as the Serb's PCR tests are negative, he would have absolutely no problem staying and playing in Dubai. "We have no concerns over [his vaccination status] because the most important thing for us is to follow government policy and protocols," Tahlak said. "The government here doesn't require someone to be vaccinated to enter the country. As long as he undergoes PCR testing and those tests are negative, then he can enter. We have PCR testing available in the airport upon arrival and also at the tournament and the official hotel." Novak Djokovic’s Australian Open 2022 deportation saga was the most talked-about topic in January. From fans to players to coaches, everyone has been vocal about their views on the matter. After a number of ups and downs in the case, Djokovic was finally deported from Australia just a day prior to the start of the Australian Open 2022.
