Novak Djokovic faced fresh controversy over his attempt to enter Australia to take part in the Open tennis tournament after pictures emerged on social media of his appearances at public events after a positive Covid test was recorded in mid-December, which allowed him an exemption from the country's strict Covid rules.

Djokovic has spoken against vaccine mandates but has always refused to say what his own vaccination status is.
